You're being very hard on Steve.
The first accident was five years ago. The investigation missed the true cause and came up with the wrong explanation so when Steve had his accident six months after the first one, nobody knew about the scissors link problem.
Both helos were maintained by the UK Agusta service center and they made the same mistake both times.
I guess Agusta did make a big point about it on the factory course you did three years ago.
