They start on a glacier at 3330m and then the ride goes over 20 km down to 2600m. Since there are also climbs, the total vertical meters add up to also over 2600m. It seems to be the hottest event in the sports. Nordschleife for Mountain Bikes, so to speak. Crazy mass starts, hundreds of drivers.

I dont know.

Falls: yes, of course. Bike material breaking down, especially the tyres: happens as well, and no wonder on that terrain. But serious accidents? I dont know.
