There are pros and cons to this argument. I participate in two sports in which there are regular fatalities, technical cave diving (arguably the most dangerous sport in the world) and experimental aviation.
One forum (tech diving forums) specifically allows analysis and discussion of accidents and fatalities. Analysis of the accidents is how we understand what went wrong, how we evolve new rules, and ultimately helps keep those left alive, alive. Remember, every single good rule we have developed was paid for in blood.
The other forum specifically prohibits any discussion of fatal accidents. I believe this is a significantly short sighted viewpoint. It's banned based on what you imply, it might hurt someone's feelings. Frankly, if the are that upset, they aren't likely to be out trolling around on the forums.
I agree it is important to be respectful, but at the same time analysis of these events is valuable to the rest of us if performed with some thought in mind. If anyone doesn't like it, they are free to not click.
