Drag racing crash on Transit last night

Maybe, maybe not. A cage takes away the car’s ability to absorb the crash. Great if you end up on your roof sliding down NYI’s track or glance off one of their barriers, not so great when you solidly impact an immovable object. The forces at work in a crash bad enough to split a car in half like that are extreme. If the car holds together the occupants are going from 90ish to 0 almost instantly. Not to mention the substantially increased risk of head injury from the cage if you’re not wearing a helmet.

Add into the fact that you could smash your head into the bar, if you are not wearing a helmet, is a little scary
