@@jefftaylor1186 what tells you that haha. Berger was out for one GP. Caffi was uninjured. Comas was knocked out and saved by Ayrton Senna, but was fine by next round. Hakkinen was badly hurt, however the quick actions of the medical team did save his life and he had a full recovery in 4ish weeks. Blundell was sidelined for a couple weeks, full recovery made later. Brundle was completely unhurt, actually in such good condition that he ran back into the pits and jumped in the spare car while the crowd cheered him on. Villenueve and Zonta were both completely unhurt. Kenny Brack was actually hurt, spending 18 months recovering but not racing CART anymore after. Ralf Schumacher was sidelined for a couple races but made a full recovery. Kubica was only sidelined for one race and made a full recovery too. Out of all these huge crashes only 1 was unable to continue elite racing. 1 other driver did have some minor changes to his life. What are you talking about?

There are some comments here stating that Legge lost her entire rear wing before the crash, but it was actually just the wickerbill, which is the small lip along the back edge of the wing. Still, with as critical as downforce is to these cars, once it was gone, the result was inevitable. She's an excellent driver and it was good to see her walk away from that crash.

Those cars DO have all of those. And then some. Champ Car implemented Zylon anti-intrusion barriers long before F1 did(2001, after Alex Zanardi's crash. They were originally metal, but changed to Zylon a couple of years later). Because crashes on high-speed ovals are so much more serious than road courses(look up Kenny Brack) due to higher speeds and lack of runoffs, safety has historically been a much larger part of US open-wheels than in most other forms of racing.

I can actually TOLERATE watching NASCAR, as I've driven a Cup-spec car so I understand the challenge(trust me, its harder to drive a Cup car than an F1 car. If you were a NASCAR driver, ya wouldn't WANT to be running on road courses :P), but most of their tracks just aren't capable of providing good racing overall. I think the only 1.5-mile track NASCAR uses that is occasionally exciting would have to be Atlanta Motor Speedway.
