Considering the nature of the 500, it's always going to be risky. However, it's worth bearing in mind that the last couple of times a driver got seriously injured was in 2010, when Mike Conway went into the catch fencing and then in 2015, when James Hinchcliffe was impaled by a suspension part going into the cockpit, during practice. Hinchcliffe's was a freak accident.
Safety has come along way in IndyCar, what with SAFER Barrier installed at ovals plus the tub of the DW-12 is immensely strong. You just have to look at Dario Franchitti's crash at Houston in 2013 and wonder why he wasn't killed.
