Speculation is rampant and the bottom line is each of has to make a decision, based upon our own personal convictions. There is no right or wrong answer.

This was near tragic and we can all go beef up our cages to keep that kind of thing from happening again.

And then when someone runs off course and a limb goes straight through the windshield like a spear, we can all weld expanded metal across all the windows.
Mitch is right on... You can never protect against every scenario that is possible in racing. Each person has to choose their own comfort level and no one is completely right or completely wrong in their decision.
