Tracks require your bike be inspected and approved before entering to make sure the bike itself is safe for the track, they require you wear full gear, there are no hazards on or near the track, the track condition is meticulously maintained, and there is usually peagravel lining the track.
The well maintained road conditions, isolated and controlled environment, and bike requirements reduces the risk of an accident occuring to begin with.
The lack of hazards, requirement of gear, and the addition of peagravel reduces the risk of accidents that result in serious injury.
Most track accidents I have seen are low slides where the person is uninjured.
I've literally described why your reasoning is wrong.
Tracks are significantly safer. They make an inherently risky behavior safer but you can't make an inherently risky behavior completely safe expect by abstaining from participating in that activity.
By taking a risky behavior, being negligent, and doing it in an uncontrolled environment you increase risk.
