The same thing happens any time the engine shuts off. Out of gas? Same problem... Lose your accessory drive belt/s? Same problem. Etc.

The only caveat to your comment is that in these scenarios you have an airbag. And the lawyers have zeroed in on that fact.
I think the engineers were right in some respects. For properly trained drivers in 99% of these cases it's just an annoying occurence, not a life and death situation. But given millions of cars and millions of miles daily deaths (how many remains to be proven) were likely if not inevitable.
