Fun not allowed

Henry Crun, Clareprop and others taking a similar line: are you seriously suggesting that any activity undertaken for fun should have ZERO risk for third parties?

So perhaps I can drive myself to work because that is useful, but I shouldn't drive myself to the seaside to lie on a beach because I'm exposing third parties to risk purely for my own pleasure?

These things are not black and white. Even trivial activities that we could all avoid can involve mortal third-party risk, do you seriously believe we should ban them all?

The only way the real world works is by making an informed judgement as to whether the LEVEL of risk is acceptable. This accident may further inform such decision making, once the full facts are known. In the meantime the CAA seems to have taken a sensible and measured response.
