Of course with that level of damage, you're going to have bigger concerns than whether your oil stays in the pan or not...like whether you still have wheels left on the car...or an oil pan for that matter.
Not trying to knock Fumoto or their products. I think it is slick what they do and there's certainly applications where this product is a god send.
Yes, you can fabricate an extra protective plate if you choose, but I for one will not be adding hillbilly armor to my undercarriage...lol
