Space between karts is what gives clean starts and there's two ways to get it:

1) Start with a gap between karts that isn't likely to be closed, as is the case with standing starts.

2) Allow the start to spread out, as happens with faster rolling starts (watch a race car rolling start).

The speed of the start has little affect on the speed of resulting accidents as the accidents tend to occur at/around the turn-in point, where the karts have already slowed down.

When the starts are bunched up you rely on all the karts acting as a cohesive unit. Any kart that deviates causes a chain of events that nobody can avoid. If you're loading the one in front, it will not be you that deviates.
