I know that most local DEs that I've been to will black flag those with more bravado than brains very quickly. Any decent instructor can see a problem student, correct, and if all else fails, have them pit out. It's supposed to be a learning experience, not a means to get in front of that Ferrari.

From the sounds of it, you were with a looser club.. they do exist. I would suggest that you attend a BMW CCA HPDE with your local chapter. They are usually very competent and extremely safe events.

Accidents happen, but from the sounds of it, there were quite a few incidences, and that is not normal. -The day was also filled with debris flags, and minor accidents.
