These do not seem to be remotely comparable.

Wikipedia has a list [1] of several people that died in water speed record attempts. This list does has several names on it. This pales in comparison with the 36,000 people [2] died in auto-collisions in just the US in 2018.

Driving 100mph+ on public roads is completely reckless. If you fuck it up, someone's going to die.
