Lets just remember the victims name here firstly.

Neil Lawson.

Which means he was not some unwary spectator, but he
had seen many
contests before and he was fully aware of how pilots
fly final glides at
such contests. Heck, it was a race, yet he deliberately
chose to climb
onto a car roof inmidst the final glide path and expose
himself to the
risk, because he wanted to produce spectacular pictures.
Or how do you
think he made e.g. the following pictures?

If you read the report, you'll learn that those spectators
had to jump
from the car roofs before because some gliders came
in low. And what did
they do? They climbed onto the roofs again!

It's always sad when somebody gets killed, famous or
not. My thoughts
are with the pilot who will have to live with the fact
that he has
killed somebody.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Neil
Lawson, those who have lost someone they love in a
completely uneccesary accident caused by an irresponsible
and illegal act.
I think you may have your priorites a little mixed
up.
