So if their harnesses held, they wouldn't have struck the structure. The raft is pretty heavy, it's not as though the whole thing left the track, he just came out of the raft and hit the net/bars.
I'd imagine it was the body that did the damage.

I kind of half-wonder if he didn't come out of the raft. The force required for decapitation makes me wonder if he was still strapped in, and then his body got pulled forward with great force while his head was hung up in the netting or on a pole or something. If he really came out of the raft, I could see a serious injury or death, but not that catastrophic of an injury if he was only hitting at 25 mph or so.
