Regarding safety, there pretty much isn't any. They're like motorcycles. The biggest danger on these cars is whacking your head on the roll bar -- hard. BFT to the head is what has killed more than a couple guys on this forum. In fact, about three years ago we had a guy showing off his Cobra in the country club parking lot. He slid in to the curb, hit his head against the roll bar, and died on the way to the hospital. The car barely had a mark on it. All in the country club parking lot. If you can touch your head to the roll bar, then you'd be smart to pad it.
