Part of the titillation of racing is the constant dance with fate. You take that away, you really gut a core ingredient of the sport. Sure there are a lot of things that could be done better or smarter, but at the end of the day it's our freedom of choice that matters so long as we are willing to live with the consequences.
So are you gonna race in a no roll bar, no seat belt sprint car? good luck....
