a car shouldn't just blow up like that either.
I agree that they shouldn't, but you see that quite often at the end of a run and most of the time the driver gets out of it. If you were talking about the explosion after he hit, then all I can attribute that to was the fuel cell bursting. Not a lot you can do there either, other than not putting so much fuel in the car. I don't want to start speculating on what killed him, but my guess is it was the hit, and the explosion. In this case, I believe that a longer stopping area and no concrete wall probably would have saved him, but unfortunately we'll never know.
