Why was the car Kennedy was assassinated in kept in service (albeit massively rebuilt, hardtopped, and bulletproof) by the Secret Service? Was it a cost issue (prior modifications were costly), a "evildoers will not change our way of life" thing, or avoidance of a memento others might aspire to?

What's the material this guy is hitting while flying in his wing suit? How in god's name does that not cause him harm? I mean, even the poles, if meant to break, still look sturdy enough to cause some pain. If hit at an angle couldn't it cause you to roll? Why hit anything at all? (link in comment)
