The canopy argument seems to totally disregard what happens to a canopy when a car gets upside down at over 100 mph and gets ground down by the pavement, or starts to melt in a fire. Since Dan's car first hit the fence support at the footbox there is some degree of possibility a canopy may have been ripped off his car had it had one. Don't forget, the roll hoop was ripped off the car.
The outcome of that incident in Las Vegas would have likely been different had it started 1/2 a second sooner, or 1/2 a second later, or if Dan's car was an inch further to either side when he made contact with the other car and got launched.
I keep thinking how the same 1/2 second sooner/later, or 1/2 inch left or right type of thing would have resulted in a different outcome at the 1996 F3000 incident at Magny-Cours that took Marco Campos from us.
It is always a chain of events that lead to the outcome, not just 1 thing.The secret to winning races: More Throttle, Less Brake.

Running a 77.4 on blacks on a green track versus a 72.8 Pole on a rubbered track with reds portends well for the new car's potential. It is far from sorted but I think we will see some new track records in it's future, at least on Road/Street courses and maybe short ovals.
