I think there are two concepts being confused in this thread. Avoidability and Acceptability. I've been doing safety inspections for the Department of Energy for the past 17 years. One thing I have come to learn and understand is that ALL accidents are preventable. A mid air collision of model aircraft CAN be prevented by recognizing the inaccuracy of our depth perception, allowing sufficient margins between planes, and using spotters to help us know where other planes are.

I disagree. All human activities come with an element of risk and that risk can always be mitigated but never completely removed. RC flying is no exception. If you want to bear no risk of having your plane crash the only alternative is not to fly at all. But to the main topic IMO unless you want start extending the litigation industry to RC no blame should be attached to either party.
