Diaper required at Division 1 Tracks?

Tell me more about these diapers. Sometimes cars unload or break while in the air and come down hard, sometimes touching the pan. If the diaper is torn is it required to be replaced in order to be acceptable? I would think that it would be.
What happens when an engine lets go and starts a fire? Does the diaper put out the 4-5 qts. of oil that it retains?
Will the diaper stop all parts from exiting the diaper? What I mean is it bullet proof?
Will the extra time spent changing the oil and looking for leaks cause more problems than it solves? Some aren't much on doing regular maintenence is what I'm refering to. An oil soaked diaper might be flamable?
What about the rear area of the block? I've seen cranks let go and take the flywheel and part of the converter with them.

I agree with some that have said. I am more worried about the car in the other lane than I am my car. Just look at some of the wheel alignment junk from pictures of cars in the air.
