In all honesty, I don't think bmx racers or downhill riders give a shit about safety or crashing; if they did, they're in the wrong profession. They're main aim is speed, and lots of it. The run out at the end of the course is where you slow down, much like a toboggan run, or a runway etc etc
I wouldn't bother wasting time worrying or critiquing other bike setups, afterall it's just a bike, and who is anyone to tell someone how to set it up or indeed ride it.
Dangerous cyclists make cycling more fun anyways so fuck it
