Any casual perusal of Aircraft Accident databases will demonstrate that fatal accidents are no respecter of experience or flight time. The only flight that will kill you is the next one you take. The only mistake that will kill you is the next one you make. There are established accident models that show complacency is a very cyclical thing, the organization I flew with assumed you were fairly unsafe up until the first 500 hours, and then after that, every 500 hour cycle was time to remind pilots they were at greater risk of having an accident. This accident had all the classic hallmarks - speed inappropriate to visibility, height inappropriate to speed. If he knew the route he didn't remember the wires, if he didn't know the route he should have anticipated the wires. Nothing complex here, just another tragic statistic that will continue to grow.
