Sure, but an inexperienced rider on a SS can get to the bleeding edge of being in control almost instantly, and then surpass it in the ever so subtle flick of the wrist, whereas a smaller bike is naturally more forgiving and might avoid that ride into and over the guardrail.
It's like the old mantra about 4 wheel drive vs 2 wheel drive trucks - they'll all get stuck at some point, but with the 4WD you're likely in a much worse situation (that's going to be a lot harder to get out of) before it happens.
Suggesting that a inexperienced rider is "fine" on a supersport is akin to suggesting that a inexperienced driver would be "fine" with something like a super high performance car. And then things like this happen when they don't have the ability to control the power - this wouldn't have happened in a 6 cylinder Mustang.
