I rarely visit the Indy forum, but did, saw this post and was very curious as I feel the Indy aero screen is a much better design than what F1 has.

After looking at a few other photos, I don't think it was punctured. The angle of that linked photo and how cleanly the arm broke is misleading. The suspension arm is broken off and the way it is laying looks like it has pushed through the screen. But from other angles you can see that it just is broken off and not even touching the screen.

Here is one example

Click on the image in the tweet so as to see the larger version and you can see the end of the arm peaking up and not touching the screen.
