What an idiot!

Thanks to Flying lawyer I've been reading the latest GASIL

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG_GAD_GASIL1OF2004.PDF

The account of the pilot who decided it was safe to fly onto his destination having accidentally refuelled his Diesel-engined Diamond DA40 with Avgas staggered me to disbelief!

How does any pilot not understand the risk that this posed to both themselves and the aircraft?

I presume that fact the they arrived at their destination meant that the refuelling was done with relatively full tanks of Jet A1.

What do other people think?
