3964 REVIEW DENIED In an action for the wrongful death of a person who was killed when a helicopter in which he was riding ran out of fuel and crashed during an air show, findings that a defendant who ran the air show demonstrated a "dangerously laissezfaire approach" to the activity, which created "an overwhelming impression of negligent management," and that there was a reasonable inference that the accident would not have occurred if the helicopter did not run out of fuel, the flight did not occur over inhospitable terrain, or the pilot was more experienced, and that greater care would have reasonably and prudently minimized the likelihood of injury were not sufficient to establish that defendant's negligence was a cause of the death.CitationDIXON v CITY OF LIVERMORE (Air Show) 127 CA4 32 [See: Saelzler v Advanced 25 C4 763, T/AT 6/01; Leslie G v Perry 43 CA4 472, T/AT 4/96; White v Inbound 69 CA4 910, T/AT 3/99]w
