Thinking back now to how many tires I mounted with me practically laying across them at times, I never once thought about the "what if" at the time. I have stretched tires with 40+ psi and could easily have been seriously injured or dead from the same sort of thing that has injured or killed these others. As infrequently as it happens though, I unfortunately don't see many racers changing how they do it. I hope that with more attention and exposure to the issue more people will take the problem seriously and take some extra precautions.
