See roughly minute 1:05 in the video. It's relatively low speed, and even if you blew the apex completely you'd generally bounce off toward the outside.

There probably still should be a barrier in front of the trees, but "punch it and spin coming out of the corner" is a particularly bone-headed way to put your car into a tree.
