Funny Car Cage...Safe or not?

[FED 387]

I dont think it is a padding issue here its more of the shape of the area that is padded-- a large flat/blunt surface or a small 2 inch round/sharp tubesurface--- the contact point on the round tube is probably 1/2 inch to maybe 5/8 inch whereas the flat padded area contact point is more likely many square inches(8-10)
