Incidents like this do happen at autocross events. It's very rare, though.

Especially courses where speeds can exceed 50 mph... At that point you're really pushing the envelope for "fun" style autocrosses and safety should be a prime consideration. No matter where you hold these there will always be danger points - its up to the organizer and course designer to ensure that they do their best to minimize the risks. Ultimately it's also up to the participant to decide it they want to run it.
