Sometimes hollow is better and it's a foam that harderns into a solid plastic not a foam that turns into sponge or cushion. Do you know that your bone structure is almost the same structural patterns as this foam? Many things through the years have been many or hollow peiced an the fact is they're stonger. Perfect example is carbon fibre... Why is it so durable and strong because it's a fiber an not a solid monopiece structure.

Honestly I don't care about safety because a cage in an FD really won't do that much as far as safety at the speeds I access in the FD are no where near safe even for a cage.
