This is a good point. Also, there have been many serious incidents where in the end the driver turns out ok, including '94 (Lamy, Wendlinger, Montermini).

As for the crash damage, maybe it's a sign that the car, rather than the driver, took most of the impact and energy if the chassis is smashed up?
