Whenever speculation occurs on the cause of an accident there are always those who condemn it out of hand and insist that the official report should be awaited.

There is though, a valuable safety reminder in some limited speculation on the causes of any light aircraft accident.

In the case we're discussing, I bet hundreds of private pilots will be taking a little more care to think about their EFATO procedures and options available from their particular runway, even if nothing could have helped in this particular instance.

I do agree that it shouldn't expand into a full blown discussion about the causes though, and certainly not attempt to allocate any blame.
