How does it prevent injury in a "Helmut Marko" type incident? I can't work out how it stops stones, nuts, bolts, any small debris actually, from hitting the drivers visor.
The Shield or Windscreen, they are currently in IndyCar would be better. With the Halo, there is nothing to stop another Massa type accident.
