Well if it protects the body like you say, how will it protect anything if it folds? A proper exo protects the vehicle aswell as what's inside that's the whole point?

What I suggest you do is collect all your used bog roll tubes and Sellotape them together and make your own external tube cage

Agreed.
External cage without a cross bracing, at best gives a false sense of safety. You may think you're safe and all behind those tubes. But you're not.

As you have a internal you could scrimp abit on the external to save some weight and still protect the body
