Yeah sorry.

In academy you basically never fight other students. At the most padded plastic batons and padded helmets practicing strikes and grappling at slow speed.

We would be paired up to fight a trainer in a huge padded suit called RedMan(tm).

He was allowed to use full force punches (he was wearing boxing gloves). We the students only had the plastic baton and only allowed to hit certain zones. He would trounce the poo poo out of the students, like no joke I took the hardest punch to my face in my life and barely recall the rest of the event. You would basically have to trip him up and knock them over to affect them at all.

It sucked and I recall at least one person failing academy after falling apart from getting hit hard.

It's the little bar that sits above head level that follows the rim of the cockpit. People whined up a storm when it was introduced a few years ago because it "looked weird" and "blocked view" and "ruined aerodynamics" but on the other hand it's already saved a dozen drivers from being decapitated so who can say if it's good or bad?

It's the ring you see around the cockpit. The drivers helmets were unprotected until a few years ago, and people were REALLY against it because of "tradition"

The worst part is that indycar recognized this problem and redesigned the cars for introduction in the 2012 season, then poor Dan Wheldon got slammed facefirst into the catch fence in what was already going to be the last ever race with the non-rollbar cars.

Killed by a stupid design that had already been fixed but not phased in yet.

There's a good chance Wheldon would have died in this car as well. The catch fence sheared off the roll hoop on top of the car. The wind screen is to protect drivers primarily from debris impacts to the helmet(Justin Wilson) and other bizarre hit like Jules Bianchi

Toxic masculinity as a prop for capitalism, same as in football (NFL flavor) or mining or construction or any other "manly" industry. Worrying about safety makes us look wimpy and costs the investors money and is bad for business
