Well the tricky thing is that we don't know the incidence rate. But I do recall that there have been even some reports here on this very forum. So it's not like it's unheard of. There were also a few interesting freak crashes on this year's TdF, but who knows about those. What is known though is that the safety margin of ETRTO for hookless rims is pretty narrow.
Now I'm sure you wouldn't claim that the reported blowoffs were due to user error, because that would be a "no true scotsman".
