I think it is really sad when a driver is injured or killed but let's get a dose of reality here.
Technology has made these cars safer than ever before. Back in the 60's someone was getting killed at almost every week. You aren't going to go fast and be totally safe. That is just physics.
If you want totally safe then play badminton or chess. All the drivers know the risks going in. They accept that auto racing is dangerous. The public loves the drama and the danger and then condemns the sport when something bad happens. Hypocritical morbid curiosity. Look at all the views on Youtube.
In interviews with drivers that have been seriously injured in crashes they all say they want to get back in the car ASAP. If you want to be sad for someone, feel sad for the families of the drivers that have to live with the risk.
