I have yet to jump on the serpa bandwagon, but it seems to me that education and training is the number one way to avoid ND's. So, it seems to me that the blame should fall onto the instructor. Had he made students draw and aim with an unloaded weapon until he was sure that students were proficient in drawing and aiming the weapon before issuing ammo, there may have been no accident at all.

Seems to me like an instructor blaming a product to cover up his own negligence.
