Ooops

OUch. A good argument for mandatory use of crash helmets offroad.

Natalie Drest came up with the following;:

Mandatory ... why?

It appears they had a roll-cage, it appears they had decent seatbelts, it appears no-one got hurt, so why make it mandatory for helmets to be worn?

Why introduce yet more legislation in a knee-jerk reaction to an accident type that few of us, in reality, will ever see?

I have no problems with people wearing helmets, indeed I often do, it's a free choice after all, but to legislate for it is a ludicrous suggestion and only allows further scope for even tighter legislation that will eventually push us away from 'dangerous sports/activities' and back home where we can be safe. There are more serious accidents in the home than there are off-roading, are you advocating helmets to be made mandatory to wear inside a house?

Presumably thats made form lots of different photos? (as its an animated GIF file not a video). I like the big pause due to multiple photos from different angles as it sits there just about to topple!

I am! All children under the age of 4 should wear them...

ITYM - all those sharing a house with children under 4 :)

roll-cage holds up well, though. worth having...

No, for those that share a house with under 4's, it's a cricketers box ...

Surprisingly little damage to the vehicle, considering. Good to see the rollcage holding up, i've always had my doubts about those half-cages people fit to hard tops, but it seems to be just as strong
