why consumer cars have crumple zones for safety yet racing cars have roll cages

It’s always struck me as odd that crumple zones help absorb impacts which makes cars safer. Yet race cars have roll cages which make them safer.

Roll cages will kill you if you don’t have a helmet and harness on.

My brother was friends in high school with a guy who had a roll cage welded into his car so he could race on the weekend. Got into a relatively minor accident and despite wearing his seat belt his head struck the pipe running above and it killed him.
