Did the X fail or bend? If not, we cannot assume the driver was taken in the ambulance because of the X. He/she may have suffered something that would have happened with NASCAR bars as well. If the X failed, we have to ask why. If it did and the welds were good, it's also possible that with that much force the NASCAR bars could have collapsed into the seat and killed him/her.
My point is that we don't know if there is a causal relationship here.
I fully understand your desire for space. Just remember that the same thing that gives you space could also be the thing that kills you (curved bars).
