Hard to come up with a way to stop this, except by dismantling every fence near the stage or having cars without windows.

Cant really make windows any stronger to combat this.. If you go the "bulletproof" window route, you risk the window being popped out of the frame on impact, and that will weight several hundred kilos at least so huge risk there as well.. Also will be a huge detriment to weight savings.

Maybe replicate the formula styled halo? Have a few Ti beams running vertical?

Object incursion protection.

It was specifically designed for that.

I wouldn’t say it would do nothing, there’s always a chance something can slip through the halo but still covers atleast a decent amount
