To be fair, the conditions really weren't that bad. I've seen much worse rain in an F1 race, and the safety car was out very long at the start to make sure it was absolutely safe to race. In the end it picked up again of course, but it was really just an unfortunate coincidence that Jules went off at the same spot as Sutil right as they were removing the car.
Motorsport is dangerous, and unfortunately these things happen, but I really wouldn't say they were racing in conditions beyond all safety.
