It would depend on initial speed. The goal is to design a structure inside the fairing that would give roll over protection. The first attempt would be to use honeycomb aluminum panels to form a bulkhead and skin behind the rider and a reinforced cowl. The bulkhead would reach from the top of the headrest to the bottom of the frame. The cowl hoop or cone would be shoulder height topped by a Lexan windscreen. The inertial reel lap belt would allow the rider to move enough to kneedrag. No vehicle will be as safe as sitting on the couch eating popcorn watching the races on TV but this could offer protection similar to an SCCA spec antique sports car.
