If a track is only safe for the top 10 lugers in the world (the best in the world even crashed on it) is it a good design for a competition where they full well know they will be having guys in the top 50? (As do most world cup events)

He made it down that same track 25 previous times...why was this one different if it was either the tracks fault or the organizers fault?
To me that question needs answering before anything else.
Its looking more and more like it was nothing much more than a freak accident with series of events coming together to form a perfect storm that unfortunately ended in tragedy.
