Sure can and is, but it costs money and or comfort and convenience. Could you imagine driving to 7-11 in a full roll-caged car while wearing a 6pt safety harness and helmet? Neither can most people. Yet that would protect you from 200mph crashes and would allow for a vehicle to weigh under 2000lbs.
