Please stop trying to use science to justify your particular brand of magic.

A six car pile up couldn't cause a patch of ice on a roadway, so actually....the patch of ice kind of is greater than the pile up.
Depends on what you mean by "greater". If you want wreckage the pile up wins. If you're looking for low coefficient of friction, the ice has it hands down. If we're looking for marketability or capacity to be the Saviour of Mankind then neither is terribly useful. It's a useless metric because it doesn't mean anything.
