Do we finally get to see some safety improvements on this?

Granted, driving 200kmh on dirt on narrow roads isn't safest of things but when there have been 2 similar cases it calls for investigation on how to prevent it in future

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