The report included reference to the passengers' obvious enjoyment of the flying, and does bring home the responsibility to balance the opportunity to entertain people with that of safe flight.
Whatever his flying history, and whatever was the initiating event or events, at up to 130kts speed maybe 100ft or so above the ground, down in a valley lined with trees pulling a high-G manoeuver, there would have been little or no margin to recover from any control problem.
The parents of the young boy also killed have stated that this accident was "completely avoidable". You can never completely eliminate risk, but it's hard to dispute that fact, and although the McRae family are pointing at anything other than the pilot, the pilot's decision making put them in the place where they had no scope to recover.
Also, the McRae family say the hope the report "draws a line" under the incident. Wishful thinking indeed.
