KW should NOT have been on the track - he certainly put himself in a very dangerous situation, but TS should NOT have been running higher on the track and jeopardizing safety. There's lots of blame to go around - both KW and TS share a big chunk of it.

I wholeheartedly agree. If the kid stays in his car he lives. But again he's a kid, not a 43 year-old veteran NASCAR driver. Which of us at the age of 20 weren't taking huge risks? Under ~25 you're brain doesn't yet have that full frontal lobe development that is key in running from danger instead of towards it.
The $64k question is a simple one. Did TS see the kid on the track when he had to choose between going to the inside like the other cars that managed this?
If he saw the kid, and went high he's criminally negligent. And really the only thing that can somewhat answer that question is his onboard video.
