Fatal crashes are fairly unlikely, at the top level. But crashes are often, lots of broken bones (collar bones) and sprinting has more contact then the average person would think.
I think this was the point of JV comments. People think, I ride my bike I don't see what is so hard about it. When if you watch closely it is more physical and there is more dangerous then you would think.
