One thing about these cars going airborne ... NASCAR, for the most part, has figured this problem out. Most of the aerodynamic devices work before the car goes airborne and they have no "active actuators." They are all based on air pressure (or lack there of) that cause them to open/deploy.
No impedance to aero and no weight ... just body flaps. I would bet that the FIA, if they looked hard enough, would be able to come up with a similar safety reg that would mandate/outline the use of.
One problem though ... It'll take an Ayrton Senna like death for the FIA to look at this problem that they perceive as not a problem. They, the racing sanctioning body, has to enact safety devices. The drivers and team will continue to build and race the fastest & safest (to the rules) cars. A driver and team will choose a car that is 2 secs a lap faster even though it may have a greater chance to kill them over a safer slower car.
This is my opinion ...
