I would not be surprised if it comes out that the engineers were pressured to design the fastest track ever, and along with other considerations such as spectators and television coverage, compromises were made.

There's a problem with this though.
You say it's unacceptable to put unforgiving posts
in an area where a rider could possibly fly off the track. This presumes that it's okay to put unforgiving posts where a rider couldn't fly off the track. If the engineer's models and due diligence showed that there was 0% chance to fly off the track there, then it's not their fault.
However, like I posted before, I feel like there is some negligence somewhere along the way. We will find out when the proper investigation is conducted.
