Default Mechanic ingested- blame the pilots?

Hey guys,

Came across this one on another forum. It concerns the Continental accident where a maintenance engineer was ingested into an engine during a runup.

Some folks believe the pilots should be blamed. Others disagree. The only point of agreement is that it's a terrible death. Here are 2 links:

I'll open the floor to discussion. What do APC members think? Should the pilots be blamed? Let's keep the discussion civil please.
