It does happen
I did that race once in pouring rain -never spent so much time on my arse in a race
The year the death happened apparently they had changed the route and you had to cross a very steep slope that became a mud fest in the bad weather that resulted in a circa 300m fall/slope - so a friend of mine told me - he described it as madness

Typing with no glasses and tired Doug. CP1 was 21km and CP2 was 30 km. (there are only two aid stations).
I’ll tap out something more tomorrow.
