Of course the possibility for prosecution, fine and education are limited in circumstances such as this. If indeed they are even warranted, although being pragmatic one struggles to understand an attitude that resists engagement because there is a lack of a formal report when there are interesting avenues for discussion that have been thrown up by this accident, regardless of where they actually turn out to be the specific cause or not.

The element of commercial pressure is interesting and oddly people who have contributed here seem reluctant to clarify the prior concerns over this owner despite it being a potential elephant in the room. More so when a very capable machine seems to have been crashed with reasonable forward speed, where weather is being questioned within meters of its departure, the wreckage lying by a cluster of trees...

On the balance of probabilities...

Also the prevailing attitude that suggests "if I don't like things I just walk" might save you but isn't really conducive to preventing the problem. All it does is put someone else in a bad spot where they have to make that tough decision at some point in the future.
