These are experienced pilots flying well maintained high-performance aircraft under competitive conditions. These events are usually quite safe and designed so that any accidents that do take place have a "scatter pattern" that is away from spectators.
You going to ban auto races because of some statistically interesting juxtaposition of crashes?
