I've seen the FC seats prevent or severely reduce incursion on the driver half a dozen times including last years chili bowl.

To say they haven't saved a ton more lives than have been lost is just ignorant. I watch a driver back into the wall once at not so great a clip and his chassis broke in at least six places collapsing around the seat. The seat held. He was fine.

They also hold the driver under his belts preventing submarine out from under them and being tossed around like a rag in the car, If the upper torso starts moving side to side, your shoulders don't hold the belt on you. they slip off.

Im for a driver choosing what they think is best for them. However the studies are pretty conclusive.
