I was merely eluding to the fact that Sprint car racing is not a bastion of good practice in racing safety, do in fact have full roll cages around the drivers, and still does injure and kill a lot of drivers.
Go here

and search for Sprint Car fatalities. 27 Fatalities since 2000.
I have no idea how many injuries. |
Sorry it did not come through I was a bit tonguein cheek, these carsare built to this standard in an insane racing series and itstill does little better than decades ago. A canopy in F1 wont help much from flips or as stated from smallerobjects piercing thru. There can be a compromise here. But birthed is the actual solution
