Safework v John Ferrara & Goulburn Flight Training Centre

[68volksy]

Not sure if anyone is following this story but the Safework cases against John Ferrara and Goulburn Flight Training Centre are finally coming to trial on 1 September. I believe that these are to do with the latest death of an employed tandem skydive instructor however the only way to get more detail is to actually turn up to court! Does anyone have any information or knowledge to share regarding these?
