No doubt, considering recent events/incidents that an anti-freeze rule needs to be implemented. I understand this would not be a "catch all" rule that would 100% guarantee a thing...but it could certainly reduce the percentage of issues.
Alex, just viewed the video - WOW, that was horrifying...you definitely went for a ride and that was a pretty good hit indeed. Glad you're OK...cars are fixable, often times, people are not. Were you a bit sore later on? ...I know I would've been. WOW.

The short session issue has been worked out with the Race Stewards and should not be an issue this year.
and a couple session got cut short, which was fine with me since I was under weather.

Yes the seat has some method to restrain the head from side to side movment. It ranges from small slightly angled foward protrutions to large 90 deg angled foward padded bars.
The drivers seat flexed all the way to the pass side of the car and snapped back.

Here's an example of a halo seat that helps to restrain your head from lateral movements. Been thinking of getting one myself...

Just took another look at the video. Is that flexing of the seat normal? Would a seat back brace have helped? I guess a side net on the right side would be useful as well. The list goes on for the safety items to consider...

Yes, the seat is supposed to flex like that on impact but maintain its' integrity. The seat should probably be sent out for inspection after that hit. Don't see how a seat back brace would help in a side impact. A right-side net may have helped a little.
