Just dumb.

I get what your saying but basketball essentially does this. There's no barrier, no fence, no wall, just seats next to the court.
That said, basketball does a better job keeping people off the court, and has security to ensure the safety of the players/game.
Baseball has a barrier, although generally small, and there are some that run the field, but those are becoming fewer and father between.
Tour de France really should have some sort of barrier, set up, or method to ensure proper security to prevent this kind of thing.
I don't think the spectator intended to cause the pileup, but they shouldn't have been in position to cause it regardless.
