Please dont forget that this death was caused by incredibly
poor airmansihp. Not bad rules or practices.

I've read a lot of this sort of post in this thread -- one bad pilot,
one lout who ruined it all for us, and so forth. Yet the AAIB report
was very explicit that everyone else at this comp was doing exactly
the same thing, and many others cleared the hedge and spectators by
only a few feet.

What exactly was the "poor airmanship" that so distinguished this
particular pilot? From reading the report, it seems 20 pilots played
Russian Roulette with the same gun; one hit the chamber with the
bullet. Well, he just showed poor gunmanship.
