If someone tightrope-walked over Niagara and fell in I would certainly blame the victim.
Those patches of asphalt wouldn't be there if they didn't provide an economic benefit. If we made a law tomorrow that all vehicles couldn't exceed 20mph they would be safer but lose their effectiveness and decrease their benefit. Once that cost benefit balance goes too far you have no patches of asphalt.
