Even if it was an oversight (which I agree is likely), the crash could have resulted in something needing fixing.

In aviation it's more important to catch all the problems, make sure they get fixed, and identify ways to keep them from happening again than it is to assign blame and punish people even if they did something stupid.

As I recall, full of drinks, a cart weights about 230.
