Good discussion. Here is my speculation: out for a demo ride, pro race driver shows off a bit and loses control at high speed (>100mph). Car crashes into fixed objects. Occupants crash into car interior and are dazed/unconscious. Fire starts. We know how it ends.

Its a simple result of using poor judgment at the wrong moment in the wrong place. We've all done something similar (in terms of poor judgment) and got away with it. This is the 1 in a 1,000,000 who didn't.
