This occcurence is tragic. We can not get away from that fact. To blame the Heli for being a possible factor in this accident is wrong. Had the car drivers been driving at a speed or in a manner so as to give the horse plenty of room, should the rider lose control, would this accident happened?
More than likely not.
Whose to say that it wasnt the cars that spooked the horse in the first place.
Had the heli been the Air Ambulance would the blame be placed upon them? I guess not! Praise would have been showered for getting to the scene so quickly!
