Exactly. It is always sad when a pilot kills himself, but then, after
all, it was him who decided to take the risk. But when an innocent
outsider gets involved, then it's a completely different story.

I don't know what the pilot did wrong or right. But the primary
responsability for this accident lies at the organisers, who decided to
set the task so that the final glide led over a populated road.

You're an accident looking for a place to happen with that attitude.

No way! The primary responsibility for the safety of every flight lies with the
PIC. The organizers have no authority to make any pilot do anything dangerous.

WRONG. The primary responsibility for this accident lies at the Pilot.
And it does matter what the pilot did wrong or right.
