That's not accurate. It was faulty engineering that killed him.
But I agree that he drove very dangerous cars beyond their limits in an era where those limits were quite high. I also agree that continuing to do so would have probably taken his life, if safety and car technology didn't significantly change before that happened.
For his era he was the GOAT, no question, but with todays cars and their wizardry, sorting everything out for the driver, I'm not so sure.
Senna was a driver, not a video game player. These new guys could never touch him in a real car where you had to do it all yourself.
