You can have what appears to be a frightening accident and come out of it with not a scratch. Or you could come off at 20mph and get killed. It's just the way the dice falls. Not worth thinking too hard about as long as you've satisfied yourself that you've taken all the precautions for your peace of mind that you can practically take.
I think you're getting obsessed with that one crash Noggy. Sure, it'd be interesting to know what happened in that one case, unusual as it seems to be. But we know pretty much the causes of accidents generally, don't we? Idiot drivers, rider error, unexpected diesel/slippery patch, poor road surface, poor obs etc. If you think too hard about it, it's likely to put you off ever going on the road in/on any kind of vehicle.
Better to concentrate on what you can do to avoid an accident. If you're that worried, why not do some advanced training?
