Cabin looks relatively intact. If the occupants survived, the roll cage did the job.
Does anyone advocate not having a roll bar/cage when racing, other than the no-belt rule?
On one occasion, Jay Leno was describing the features of an old Buick (circa '50) in his collection to an interviewer. He mentioned the advantage of having a painted metal dashboard. It went something like, "Yeah, the metal dash makes it easier to hose off the blood after your face slams into it."
To be fair, while most studies show a decided decrease in automotive fatalities using belts, there are also studies that show the death rate doesn't change after mandatory seat belt legislation was passed.
