I can't imagine having to rely on a parachute to stop...

Shocked that the runoff area was not longer or sand trap etc.

Sad....

why a WALL at the end of the runoff area?

Why not use one of those catch nets, something that
will stretch on impact to absorb the force but keeps
the car from going any further?
