There's the problem -- I'm hoping that the cars are not that slow. I'm thinkin' if anyone gets hit by this thing at 600 mph or so, better to slice them in half cleanly (like surgery) than to smash them to smithereens. Would you rather have your heart surgery done with a scalpel or a sledge hammer?
Your point is well-taken though, and I've been planning something more rounded. Even though I have developed lots of OSHA training, and worked with Volvo in promoting some of the cool things they have done for safety, I'll admit to liking the original knock off hubs much more than the octagonal ones. I remember thinking at the time: wait... how many people have been injured by those wings?
(Funny how small irritations remain in memory for so long: It used to bug me when I'd see the wings peened over by people using steel hammers.)
