FJ2ME Reluctant Correction
I didn't want to post here originally and I don;t consider a lot of what's written here to be worthy of reply. However, for those calling for airshow activity to be demonstrably zero risk, then you are either being wilfully obtuse or have absolutely zero understanding of risks and probabilities. I'm afraid this is an unfashionable view in today's blame culture, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO ACTIVITY ON EARTH WHICH IS ZERO RISK. Ask an insurance actuary.
Yes, but there is a difference between becoming the victim of someone else's risk and suffering as a result of a risk you took yourself.
BTW you mention insurance I guess the aircraft, pilot and airshow organisers were all insured.
