I am suggesting shades of gray.
Stanced car driven at 40 km/h by mature driver. He treats stance as an art form. Safer than Golf R driven by hooligan at speed on busy road.
Economy tyres (tyres with low rolling resistance) are less safe than sticky performance tyres. Therefore everyone should buy performance tyres because wearing sticky rubber reduces braking distance.
Fitting a BRZ/86/FRS with a turbo makes the car less safe because it is faster.
I am suggesting in the crash from the op it was not the fact that car was stanced that caused the crash. It was the fact that the driver was driving in a manner unsuitable for the conditions (which includes the car he was driving).

"Stancing" your car makes it LESS safe and less stable at any speed.
That is a fact.
EVERYTHING else on this thread is speculation.
