How do we know that the accident cause in the Report was even that found by the SI Panel? How can such a Report prevent future accidents if it can't be trusted? Do you trust it?
The technical investigation was carried out to an extremely high standard,the cause of the main chute not opening was found quickly...the cause of the ejection was always going to be trickier to find - but I can guarantee that the technical investigation into that was carried out to an extremely high standard as well.
Not sure why some are continuing to doubt the 'cause' and 'contributory' ... one could argue it either way but the end result is still a tragic death !
My personal view is that the cause of the accident was the ejection,the cause of death was the chute failure but as I posted previously - the 2 definitions are very different.
The wider airworthiness issues are separate to the technical investigation and I will not comment on that since others on here are far more knowledgeable !
