Blame the pilot
A long time ago when I was serving that great lady our Queen I recall a light trainer, Bulldog perhaps, having a donkey quit because the oil filter had not been tight after a change. He did a forced landing into a field and hooked an unseen wire fence on top of a wall
Guess what, pilot error because he should have been competent to make the forced landing
The philosophy seemed to be that pilots aught to cope and if the risk is increased by others to create a hazard this makes no difference. That attitiude seems to continue. Of course blame or not is according to the circumstances at the time
