Are students aware of the danger they are in!?

A moral issue..... should students be told of the danger they are in by a third party?

I was at a near south coast airfield today and was stunned to see an R22 hovering at 100ft after some so called exercises. Down wind manoeuvres in the avoid curve and pirouettes being performed down wind at approximately 50ft. From my observations the sortie was primarily conducted with-in the avoid curve.

My question for discussion is.... Some students are blissfully unaware of the dangers an FI will put them in. From a moral standpoint, if the FI will not tell the student they are in danger, should someone else!?
