Not sure how relevant that is... some maybe. But that’s not a gravel race and I’ve seen triathletes hit parked cars (pro rider!) and pedestrians and each other after crossing the finished line.
Road cyclists meanwhile die hitting trees, curbs, cars, mailboxes, the road itself. Sure this could happen in a gravel race but less likely. Riders have their heads up and are moving slower.
