Not sure about that. I'd have my eyes closed in one of those around there...

More seriously, hillclimb cars use it, albeit in the opposite direction, but I doubt that's significant. A Gould is about the same ride height as an F5000. Would agree with you on crash-worthiness, though, especially having seen the results of an off at Oulton Park last year.
