I'm not sure where I stand on this. In general I think people should be held accountable for their actions but this guy certainly did not intend to hurt anyone and was just trying to put on a good show. I don't put him in the same category as a drunk driver who kills someone. Perhaps the band and club should have to pay civil damages but I'm not sure criminal charges are warranted.
I wonder if any organizers and planners go to jail when fans are trampled to death at other concerts due to "open seating" frenzies. Cincinnati banned open seating after the 11 deaths at a Who concert years ago but recently changed the rules to allow them because of loss of business. I think 54 were trampled to death at an open air concert in Bellorussia a few years ago.
