It's interesting  to see what the live pilots say about avoiding a situation that somehow the dead ones didn't.   Since I've owned my LIVP project there have been, I think, 6 fatals.   Most of them explained as pilot error.

I don't know Dave Hickman but it is quite possible that I would have been trained by him in the not too distant future.   A situation like this compels one to ask "Am I, or could I one day be, a safer pilot than Dave?"
