As for as we know, neither Putin or any of the Trumps had anything to do with the Italian team or U S jet acts.
Anyway the idea of not flying over the crowd is to of course protect them in the event of an accident, collision or engine failure. If you fly over, but at 1000 ft minimum then you have, in theory a good chance of clearing the crowd if engine faliure occurs, but that is not iron clad as debris could fall off a plane. Rare but possible.
