If I recall mate, didn't Paul Tracy have the same type of compression injury at Long Beach in the new Panoz Champ Car. That impact was not as brutal as this hit.
Does the fuel Bulkhead have something to do with the seat angle??...sure it does. However, the team and or driver preference and size has a bigger influence on the angle. The lower the head goes in the car the greater the angle.
Had the IRL Not added the 3/8" thk Kevlar Intrusion Protection to the sides of the tub, I believe it would have been much much worse for Nelson.
