The hard part here is that the snow conditions may have been really unpredictable. I don't know the course at all, but that turn may well have been a simple bend that became iced over unexpectedly, making a crash possible. That doesn't excuse the issue if such icing was foreseeable, but if it was due to the record weather conditions it could be sufficient legally. The degree of the fall does seem like something that should be fenced off though, even if the odds of a crash are really low a simple fence doesn't seem like too much to ask there.
