No system can be 100% safe. You either don't have the money or space or time for every system that could possibly mitigate crashes. Especially with how rare stuff like this is, it doesn't always make sense. Cost Vs efficiency Vs safety is an equation balanced by the individual all the way up to the government everyday. Everything is a trads-off.
As a non-capitalist the very concept of "this would save a lot of lives, but it costs too much" is extremely off-putting. I know it's the world we live in, and obviously this argument can be taken to a ridiculous extreme, but building a solid wall is clearly not the answer. As soon as designers/engineers start putting a price on a life we're into pretty shitty territory.
