It should come with a super-fast-deploy multi-mode eject-seat or eject-cockpit mechanism, and train drivers to press the button whenever they spin out.

Which works great, until the car starts flipping as the driver hits the button.

Yeah, thats cool if you want your spine compressed a couple of inches every time you eject . . .

Obviously we’re not getting ejection seats, but we could get explosive bolts to release the canopy.

Then instead of nosecones and springs, you’ve got drivers and canopies raining down on the track.

This would certainly be more interesting to watch, though I dunno about it helping the drivers any. I hear zero-altitude ejection seats are a pretty brutal ride. Plus, what happens when they float back down and land on the track?

Still, those are just technical problems.
