They are required in all racing events for open top cars but they should also be required for driving schools and open track events.

Had a buddy get his left hand smashed pretty good during a roll over with no arm restraints,he was lucky he didn't lose his arm,he never drove again without arm restraints!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad the driver walked away, scary bad crash......this video is a good reason to have high back/side support racing seat,arm restraints, and some form of head/neck restraint,even if only a "horse collar" when tracking any open top car or most any car for that matter.......you only live once,take all precautions so that you can come back and do it again should something go wrong while on track.....
