It's hard to stop anywhere if you don't have a parachute and you're running close to 300mph. I think the track had a shutdown area and even a net, but he plowed through them both and hit the concrete pillar on one side that holds up the net.
I've read a couple of accounts as to the cause of death...but I'd say it's the impact at the end that killed him.
