To some extent that is addressed by the review, post accident, of the Risk Assessment and associated mitigations. That could have been a mitigation. (Applied by the organisers - not sure how the police and local authority involvement worked) Obviously it wasn't done, I have no idea whether it was considered, nor how difficult it might have been to do then, legally. - the AAIB report doesn't show that level of detail.

The CAA have reviewed and strengthened their Risk Assessment advice, following critique by the HSE (I think) Of course, hindsight is always excellent, so critiquing after the fact is fairly easy...
