The death of an airman at Porton Down laboratories following secret nerve gas tests 50 years ago was "an accident waiting to happen", an inquest heard.
The jury in Trowbridge heard how days before Ronald Maddison's death on 6 May 1953, two other volunteers had suffered adverse reactions to the sarin.
Toxicologist Prof Robert Forrest told the ongoing case the human experiments should have been immediately stopped.
Ronald Maddison's family has campaigned to find out what happened to him.
