IMO The bottom line for any ride is, You're responsible for your own machine. Any responsible leader will warn about hazards, remind people to ride within their limits. Wait at the end of the road, be honest about what type of ride it will be, etc. but the responsibility rests with the rider.
It's obvious that when a bike goes down a mistake was made. It makes no difference if you've been riding 2 months or 20 years a split second of inattention, going into a corner too hot, not assessing poor road conditions correctly, etc can cause a crash. The biggest cause of accidents is panic and not trusting the bike. If you're on a current sportbike, The bike is much better than you are.
It's been repeated time and time again to ride within your limits but a lot of riders don't know what those limits are. That's why even if you do just one track day you'll learn far more about your bikes capabilities than you ever will on the street. The most valuable learning experience I've had lately was riding Shannonville in the Rain with the Pros.
Opinions about what happened about this specific ride are not needed, Particularity from those that weren't even on the ride. Hopefully those that went down know why and learn from it. If they choose to post about what happened so others can learn from it that's entirely up to them.
