FINGER POINTING: Journalist suggests GOPRO caused Schumacher's accident. German Formula One driver Michael Schumacher before the racing accident

GoPro Inc's shares fell as much as 16% on Monday after a French journalist suggested that Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher's injuries in a ski accident last year might have been caused by a wearable camera made by the company.

"The problem for Michael was not the hit, but the mounting of the GoPro camera that he had on his helmet that injured his brain," Jean-Louis Moncet told radio station Europe 1 over the weekend.
