the poles hold up the roof

and might also have something to do with the support of the walls of the track too

It will have to be re engineered but doubt they can do much that would help at this point. Even padding is not going to save anybody going 86 MPH

When people fly off the track at even half this speed bad things will happen when it is a track like this. Back in the 60's I remember watching bobsled races in europe and one race one after another would fly up and over the walls. But those were tracks out where nothing was around the outside and they would put bails of straw for the people and sleds to go into if they ran off the track.
