That's an insane mistake there. There's no chance that user would get the fee back, as pool users would never agree on such things.
Can't even imagine what i would do if it happened to me. This is one of faults of bitcoin imho..
Pools have previously agreed in returning erroneously sent transactions with a huge fee.
Mined by Bitclub network (haven't heard of them until now).

On the bright sight, TX got confirmed pretty quickly.
A quick search on them makes them look like a ponzi scam. let's see what comes out of here...

Wallets should have many failsafes to keep this from happening.
Agreed. Manually adjusting fees should be on a separate screen from entering the transaction amount, with a confirm dialogue. Anything over a certain amount (such as 0.01 BTC) should receive multiple "Are you SURE???" warnings. Frankly, if I was authoring a wallet I'd simply disallow manual entry of fees that were above some level (such as 0.1 or 1.0 BTC) to prevent such a disaster. If someone actually had a need to send something with a huge fee let them seek out a special wallet/tool to do it, the rest of us should be immune to such catastrophic errors.
Yes, it would be helpful to have failsafes, but this isn't an issue to most users sending a normal transaction (mainly because many people have their fee settings on default). These things are normally done with custom clients.
