Is it possible, or likely, to go down on wet tracks if you hit them at 90 degrees? Hard to see how, but I'm not sure.
That's always good. Even a dry track can have a big gap by the rail that might catch your wheel. 90 degrees crossing on a wet track is OK.
Another key is to be balanced on the bike, reducing the need for the tire's side traction to keep you upright.
I've seen two riders crash on wet RR tracks. One needed elbow surgery.
