It's a pretty dumb idea, but why'd they have to slap him with all those non-specific and nebulous charges?  No one was hurt, he was prepared to land (via parachute), no reason to pile on the charges like he was committing crimes against humanity.

I like the fact that as part of his punishment he may be asked to make a donation to charity.

He must have offended someone with a very liberal sense of lawfulness.

All for posing a risk to himself.

They used to fine people for dying too ya know.  Now they just tax the survivors.

He had a banner hanging below him with his business name on it.
 He intended to bring it down by the chuckwagon races, and get himself a whole whack if advertising... Things didnt go sideways, think an updraft got him......lol..

I don't know the area but if there had been any air-traffic around he wasn't just posing a risk to himself but to others as well.
That is one of the main reasons new cheap radio-controlled and pre-programmed drones are being regulated the world over (the other being invasions of privacy from drone-held cameras).
