He was probably trying to cut the paper with a wing as it fell, and got into a spin. Not an uncommon exercise. Not a happening that I find suitable for humour.
(Apart from the choice of stock pic to illustrate)

Low numbers of posts from our fellow Ppruners.

Guys, it might be seen as distasteful to make humorous comments about a death.

If you don't see that, imagine the deceased was a relative. There is room here for gallows humour but until you get the subtlety of when it's appropriate I'd reflect before you post.

Hell, thousands of people die daily as a result of apathy, hatrid and neglect. One idiot does not scar my moral compass.

Seems to be the case. Maybe the NTSB was too embarrassed to write about toilet paper and upgraded it to "leaflets". Well, under the circumstances they do convey a message too, don't they? Just like leaflets, which can also be used for the other purpose when nothing else is available.

On a serious note, not a good idea to be doing aerial work while also acting as PIC, loss of situational awareness is just around the corner. Condolences to all involved.

Ciao,
