Yak accident at Feilding NZ

I seem to be out of the loop some where.
In the days when we all flew with reckless abandon, we were not permitted to do aerobatics below 3000 feet, not over a built up area and not over a crowd of people.
Has all those restrictions now been replaced?
After watching Tele last nite the P I C of the Yak was a "safety concious" pilot, better than average pilot and an expert aerobatic display pilot.
Do these ego producing statements give one a carte blanch right to contravene the basic minimum safe heights rules?

I am perplexed.
