Romain was the last high profile violent crash and that was a barrier on the inside of the track, well away from the edge. That crash shook the racing world from top to bottom.
Indy’s layout is like a street circuit, walls lining the whole thing. The speeds are at the very top of the heap. It’s reasonable to consider inertial effects under hose circumstances. But at the end of the day the fact is that at any moment the cars can become pinballs careening off bumpers. Trajectories are at the whim of physics. Racing is dangerous.
