The same thing can happen on the street -- and most people do not wear helmets.
Last Summer, an uncovered contractor's pickup dropped a 2 inch iron pipe in front of me, at 80 mph on the Jersey Turnpike. It hit my car where the windshield meets the roofline and punched a perfectly round hole into the car, pushing the roof back two inches. An inch lower, and it would have come into the car.
After that, I feel safer on track. Fewer pickups and trash haulers.
