As one who has been in similar situations several times, I can tell you that I am not casting stones. You don't know what you will do in such a situation until it happens. Accidents happen, and that is what this seems like on the surface. I know no more than what I read in the article, so I will not criticize those involved. Unavoidable? Perhaps so. That doesn't diminish the sorrow I feel for the family of Gary Kern. He was way too young to die.
