Default Is the 200ft below Min Finish Height Rule Working?

Have there been quite a few serious accidents (injury or fatality) from stretching a final glide in US contests? I know of one fatality years ago but the pilot had plenty of altitude to land straight ahead and instead attempted a low pass and pattern with insufficient altitude. Just wanted to make certain that this is not a solution in search of a problem.
