I guess we could all just sit around boiling water, Or is that a little extreme for some?

Accidents have a pyramid shape. For every 10 near misses, a finger gets a minor cut, for every 10 minor cut fingers, there is one serious cut. For every 10 serious cuts, there is a finger lost, for every 10 fingers lost, there is limb lost, for every 10 limbs lost, there is a fatality.
If you choose to ignore the near misses, you are going to work your way up that pyramid. The particular bit of tom foolery in question could have had very different consequences if a bit of belt had caught the driver - I understand it trashed the steersman's seat.
The problem with dyno testing is that it turns into a willie competition - mine has more BHP than yours. So somehow we have to reign in the testosterone and put some sense into it.
If you read my post, you will see I made positive suggestions on how that might be done while keeping dyno testing.
