I've never really thought too much about it but why don't some of the all out race planes have a roll cage in the cockpit? I know it wouldn't help in a high speed accident but an accident on the runway would shurely be more survivable.
Maybe it is mute but they sure seem to help in the other motorsports disiplines and there have been some 50g impacts that those guys have walked out of. It looks like some of these rollovers should be survivable without just luck.
I think the planes with the turttle decks could put a roll bar behind the pilot that could be fairly stout without even being seen much less obstruct egress and ingress.
Just a thought for the pros.
