I will whole heartedly agree that safety equipment design is very important, and we should have the best equipment we can find when going on a race track.

Still, the race track needs to take some responsibility too, and unfortunately almost every track in the US is sorely lacking. It looks to me like the lack of a good track edge design at Willow Springs started this fiasco, and the dirt embankment finished it off.

That new F1 track in Austin seems to be the only track we have that makes a serious attempt at safety.
