Back in the day, Car and Driver participated in One Lap of America. A writer for the mag drove.

In some fog, he misjudged a turn in the shiny new BMW they were using, and went off a bit of a small cliff. Rolled the car many times. Lucky none of the people (driver and two passengers, both passengers were rally pros if I recall) were killed. One was hurt bad enough but not seriously. I still have that issue someplace...

Anyway, crashes happen. Motorsport is not a guarantor of anything. But it punishes idiots a bit harder.
