It’s a horrific story. Wonder what’s made it manslaughter over a tragic accident?
Blade not within the safety rules?

It did look like he jumped at him, karate style...It’s a horrific story. Wonder what’s made it manslaughter over a tragic accident?

That would most likely be the intent behind the action which led to his death.It’s a horrific story. Wonder what’s made it manslaughter over a tragic accident?

Having watched it a few times it does look like he left his foot hanging, probably didn't mean to kill him like

Obviously not...Exactly what happened.
It’s a completely freak accident, terrible and my thoughts are with Petgrave right now. He must be going through absolute turmoil.

I haven’t wanted to watch it, so thanks for the added description.
It does sound like he’s potentially been killed accidentally.
If he’s tried to “leave one on him” and it’s caused his death, could there be a debate about it being a more serious charge?

But he's not 'meant' to kill him, hence the manslaughter charge.I haven’t wanted to watch it, so thanks for the added description.

obviously that will come down to interpretation and everyone will have a different view on it.I haven’t wanted to watch it, so thanks for the added description.

I've got no knowledge about the sport so only going off what i've seen in the clip. but his trailing foot/leg was left out and didn't look like a natural position (about 4 ft off the ground).
I presume those in power have the same view hence why it's been deemed manslaughter over a tragic accident.

Yeah, it’d be hard to prove unless the player admitted it. There’ll be no way that he’s actually meant to kill him. The red mist might have descended though. I was just questioning whether there was anything in between, but there doesn’t seem to be.obviously that will come down to interpretation and everyone will have a different view on it.
