If they thought it was "deadly" or "dangerous" you don't think that they wouldn't have made them change it at any point in the design, build, or inspection process over the last 10 years?

Models and simulations only do so much. They're a starting point, and when something happens in a practical situation, you need to go back and re-analyze what went wrong.
When Canada trains on it, you think they were really pushing themselves 110% on that track with so much time left before the Olympics?
The thing is, on most other tracks, you can push yourself to your limit and not have to worry about getting killed. Someone else is going to feel like they're losing control, but push forward anyways to get that extra .004 seconds and then get themselves killed.
