Robbie, if you fly commercially I recommend you are prohibited from flying PAX. Your attitude to this accident is inappropriate for one, simple, undeniable reason! The poor victim never intended to end up deceased. Therefore, taking the activity from start to finish, someone is to blame for his lack of knowledge and ultimately, the failure to counter this lack of knowledge with physical control!

If you do not understand this you have not been trained properly and that makes you dangerous!
