>>>A guy in England was killed in a Caterham 7 (Lotus 7 replica) with a 
full cage in a very minor traffic accident a year or so ago.   The car was 
barely damaged, but his head hit the side of the cage and exploded like a ripe 
melon.   Padding might help, but I still wouldn't do it.   Also, Pantera 
cages are quite intrusive; padding them makes it worse.
