Where do you draw the line? Within some notional distance from the airshow boundary/datum the airshow has some level of responsibility, outwith, they don't? How do you control/police/enforce excursions from the 'box'? If the box is deemed limitless then air displays in the UK are history.
It seems to me that at some point responsibility for what ensues is handed to/assumed by the pilot and in a fast moving situation that responsibility for the outcome becomes absolute.
