So.. public streets aren't for public use? You need to own your own private property to make any use however temporary?
Safety measures are good but this is one of the purposes of public infrastructure; to be used by the public.

A random group shutting down a roadway for their own purposes does not make it "used by the public".
Do you think they let random cars drive down the streets they're bombing on? No, they decide that they enforce their own laws.

Your two examples have nothing to do with “kill random innocent people.” Both of them were actively doing the hill-bomb.
No bystander has ever been killed in this event.

I REALLY don't understand appeals to safety when you then fail to mention the astounding death-toll of car transportation.
You're saying "good for em I say" to people who give themselves traumatic brain injuries and kill random innocent people:

If they have some private hill they want to go kill themselves on, then go for it. But we shouldn't be shutting down public infrastructure for this. It would be like saying we should shut down I-95 so douchebags can drag race down it. Horrible idea all around. Having the state encourage this behavior is a great way to get more people TBIs.
