I don't know how the guides are written but if based on the officially Maxis/EA approved Prima Guide, I can see why they would have included the info.  Page 75 of the Prima Guide doesn't specifically say you can catch on fire and die from a rocket ship crash, just mentions death is possible by fire.  However, the picture used to illustrate possible death by fire is of an astronaut on fire by a crashed rocket ship with the caption "Put out those flames or your Sim may burn to death."
 
Gosh, @SimGuruNick thanks for taking the time to check out base game as shipped.  That was awfully nice of you.  I have no problem accepting it's by design but have a feeling this question is going to come up again over the course of time.
