The scattersheild is not for the driveshaft. That is called a driveshaft loop.
A scattersheild is to contain pieces of clutch and flywheel in case those parts decide to fail at high RPM and explode.
A chunk of flywheel can kill you or seriously maim you.

Yes, they are required when running under 12sec and are supposed to protect the driver, etc. if the clutch or flywheel where to explode.

I happen to have one in my car right now from golden eagle. Fitment could be a little better, but at least my car passes tech now.
