Accident abroad? were you responsible?

And if so, what were the consequences?

In France, the legal system is quite different to the UK. A British glider was soaring under a large cu, when French parachutists dove through the cloud and hit the glider, at least one was killed. The British pilots were blamed for the fatality, and legal proceedings took place, but I don't know the rest of the story. I do know that both in the glider were very lucky to have bailed out and survived.

If you have been flying say in Eastern Europe, and there was an accident, would the visitor be blamed and prosecuted?
