Actually, from a structural engineering point of view, that funny car cage is one hell of a lot more rigid than that NASCAR cage. Huge spans of unsupported tubing in that NASCAR cage compared to that funny car cage.
That said, really, have we ever seen either one fail in this modern day and age? Either one is going to survive impacts that would turn the human inside of them into a suit full of goo.
Anyway, I hope he is o.k. One of my true heroes of motorsport, and there are not many of those.
