New link speculated in December's GoPro Schumacher ski accident, according to a report.

News on Michael Schumacher's accident may dampen anticipation for the GoPro Hero 4 release. According to sources, the F1 legend is on the way to recovery, gradually wakened from a medically-induced coma.

Schumacher suffered traumatic head injuries after a skiing accident last December. He is now under treatment at home in Switzerland, following six months of intensive care in a French hospital.

Schumacher GoPro helmet may have contributed to the injury. French journalist Jean-Louis Moncet relays updates from his son Mick, regarding the link:

"The problem for Michael was not the hit, but the mounting of the Go-Pro camera that he had on his helmet that injured his brain."

Earlier reports suspect the GoPro camera mounted on Schumacher's helmet may have worsened his injuries in the fall, and a renowned ski and climbing academy in France conducted tests to determine if the camera did affect the helmet's durability.

In London's Telegraph report earlier this year, a source comments, "The helmet completely broke. It was in at least two parts. ENSA analyzed the piece of the helmet to check the material, and all was OK."

"But why did it explode on impact? Here the camera comes into question. The laboratory has been testing to see if the camera weakened the structure." (nypost.com)

GoPro stocks took a dip today after updates in the GoPro Schumacher ski accident broke. GoPro spokesperson Jeff Brown comments on the report: "We are trying to get more information about the original report from Jean Louis Moncet. His tweet this morning suggests the comments didn't come from a family member."

The GoPro Hero 4 release is anticipated this October, and it's unlikely the updates on the accident will affect sales of the camera in the long-term.

"The company's shares ended down 9.8 percent at $76.67 on the Nasdaq on Monday. Up to Friday's close, the stock had nearly quadrupled in value since the company listed on June 26." (cnbc.com)
