Senna died when his car lost downforce due to mechanical fault.

No, he died because of a steering column failure, not a loss of downforce.

Yes, but strictly speaking he died because he was hit in the head with a wheel.

The halo, wheel tethers, and probably a few other modern things would have improved his odds.

I was indeed thinking, didn't debris hit him in the head. I guess there wouldn't have been debris without the crash
