US lawmakers do not take it as a given that car occupants will be wearing seat belts, in which case a cage could potentially be an additional source of injuries.

And I think harnesses and helmets are really the proper way to use a cage.  Thankfully it's legal to drive with this stuff added after the fact here, just not supplied in a new car - weird...
