But it's not such a blind corner.

Is it not unreasonable to expect the driver to either:
i) attempt to slow down and go around the obstruction
ii) attempt to stop despite hitting the obstruction.

Only one person made the decision to put his foot down hoping to blast through to the other side.

Well if you watch the Dirtfish video posted right after the incident at regroup. You can hear Tänak saying to Fourmaux that he was basicly F* it and tried to go through but it didnt, and to Evans he sayd exaclty that he went on full throttle to go through it but it instantly snapped the wheels to lock and stopped the car. But i think it is normal in that situation from drivers perspective? Ott was having a massive attack and had a massive split times compared to others before the incident. You have few seconds to react and he decided to floor it and try to go through. Seems only logical if you are trying to close in on a podium position.
