Maybe, what we should do is accept the reality that some inexperienced pilots are still going to try a high speed low pass regardless of warnings

Some newish pilots have never heard the warnings, yet almost all new pilots have seen low passes on Youtube (or live). The bold young pilot that I stumbled across said he was motivated to try his first low pass after seeing the 'competition finishes' on the recent Chilean Grand Prix video. He got some strong feedback from his club members AFTER completing his first low pass.

So what's wrong with the culture of this soaring operation that the young, bold pilot (apparently) didn't seek any guidance?

Our young hero probably figured the guidance he would receive would be a finger wagging (false) rulebook thumping abstinence speech. From the sounds of it he was likely right. So how does that culture improve safety?

If his club grounded him for a reflection period, that might get his attention.
