I am all for the single seat idea I just cant get past the above issue.

Nerf bars may limit mechanical damage, but they're not going to save lives. If you're driving something efficient (small), you're always going to be at risk from comatose FSP drivers.
Focusing on one particular type of damage is just quibbling at that point: if a 2800 pound Elantra gets edged out by a 6300 pound Suburban, nobody's going to credit the fenders with saving lives. No matter what you do you can't defend against mass, so focus on what you can control: a strong body (or at least safety cage) and a good seat. Some off the shelf racing seat, probably.
