i can't speak for everyone, just from this experience, but i feel a lack of traction on the front wheels will yield an 'off' for a car into the run-off area whereas on a bike it'll mean a low-side (the typical crash IMO). i mean, if you knew you were going in too hot you could stand up the bike and run off (which is what i was planning on doing if i had time and space this time around - i did this once on my only other track day at turn 10 at VIR north).
a lack of traction on exit will sometimes result in a spin in a car but on a bike will sometimes yield a high-side.
since you have to keep the balance on two wheels as opposed to a more-stable four, i feel the odds are more likely you will make contact with the ground on a bike vs make an impact with the tirewall in the car.
