IRL IndyCars = Death Traps?

[DNQ]

Firstly, despite being pro-CART and very dismissive of the IRL, I do not intend this to be an anti-IRL post, nor a CART vs IRL post.

Now on to my main question:

Are IRL IndyCars death traps on wheels, are they too dangerous, and should the IRL work to improve the safety, in particular regard to aerodynamics?

In recenty weeks/months, we have seen an incredible amount of accidents in the IRL, more so than another other major series. Worryingly, many of these accidents have resulted in injuries to a more than a couple of drivers.

In particular, there seems to be some sort of aerodynamic flaw that is leading to accidents like Dan Wheldon's yesterday, and Mario Andretti's in practice a few weeks ago.

I believe it's only a matter of time before, dare I say, death or terminal injury results from an IRL accident...and, it seems the IPS is no better...

This is now open to discussion
