That is the point.
When the random simultaneous transmitter trigger happens data will be lost. Again, this happens all of the time, only in this case we know some of the sources of the "jamming" transmissions. Good question to raise though.

One place where this type of thing happens often is with ham radio, and APRS. Yes, the radios used here are transceivers and if one radio hears a transmission in progress then it is supposed to wait to send. Many times the radios sending data can not hear each other so the receiver has to sort things out.
