If I may add my $.03 here, and again just my opinion. I've spent most of my (Working) life on the road (Tanker Truck Driver) with over 2million miles on my Professional driving record, and quite a few miles (On the street) under my belt, in the sports cars I've owned. I can honestly say the number of accidents I've seen where the car had caught on fire in a rear ender, and the people were caught in car, is one, and I believe those people may have not survived the accident even if the car had not caught fire. If any of us were so worried about accidents, we sure as hell would have never picked Cobras to drive So I believe the odds are in our flavor. And again in racing this is a non issue, what with Fuel Cells, and Batteries well secured. If any of us were this worried about these thing's happening, most of us would never get back in (any) car. Cheers TommyRot.
