watch this video. Look at the rollcage. Look what happens WITH a helmet on.

You think a Caged DD is safe with an unprotected dome???

slow mo at ~ 50 seconds

 

what video

 

that's all I have for now

 

whoops double post!

 

clean! See edit for video.


IF you can find a rollbar that you KNOW you won't hit with your head then go for it, but a cage isn't very safe without a helmet.

 

oh dayum
roll bar it is then

 

everyone says a cage isnt safe becuase of your head hitting it.. ****.. THE PAVEMENT OR CAVED IN ROOF AINT SAFE EITHER!!!

nuff said..

sportmax yuck

sgt.pepper, very pretty car *thumbs up*

 

just make sure there is no way your head will hit in the event of a rollover. Hell, you don't really need one unless you plan on rolling the car MANY, MANY TIMES!!!

on a white FC

 

How bout if you get T-boned and your head whips into the roll cage and breaks it open?

BTW, those arent Sportmax 962's that you linked Flipside.

 

good condition, did you repaint it? =)

 

yessir, well the previous owner did. nice avatar btw. And flipside, my lip is the S5 TII aero package lip. If you wanted the odula or shine lip you shoulda specified

 

Here's the damage:

See the grass? My head was about 2 inches away from it.

No roll bar of any style, helmet, or lap belt. All I had was the original s5 electric shoulder strap and an open sunroof/windows. My head never touched anything. I did, however, scratch the top of my left foot on the clutch pedal because I wasn't wearing any shoes. I had (very stupidly) removed my lap belts because I never used them. My pride was extremely bruised and suffered internal bleeding though.

 

Props on the survival skills.

you're meant to do great things.

 

Yeah, the FC was the first production car to get a 5 star rollover crash rating. Also, it's pretty hard to roll. Look at all the rolled FC coupes that have ever managed to roll, not one of them looks like a forced convertible, simply put your roof WON'T CAVE IN(unless you manage to flip AND fall down some considerable height at the same time or maybe roll it down a hill. A roll cage is just a head knocker and MAYBE a frame stiffener for better handling. They hurt more than they help. Now, a bar going inbetween the b-pillars for racing harness would add the safety of a harness and look good doing it, MUCH more functional.

 

that explains me not flipping my car. slid it into a median at about ~60 mph.
things is, i had it lowered 1.5 inches on illuminas on their hardest setting.
got a scratch on my face from the ****** A pillar plastic. pos 20 year old plastic. gr
not thread jacking but here ya go.


good survival skills. HOW THE **** DID YOU FLIP THE THING????
story time =)

peace

 

clean car sgt. pepper

 

yeah, I got awesome survival skills. In 8th grade I got hit by a Nissan Hard-body doing about 25mph. It broke my collar bone, but I broke out his entire grill. I got even with that mother ******. Sorry for the thread-jack.

Oh, I flipped mine doing 112 and locking up the brakes and pulling it off the road to avoid rear-ending a car or going head on with 4 others in a line. I got the full story in a blog on my myspace. Sorry again, I'm really bad about thread jacking.

 

wel they look sorta similar lol
i was trying to use that as to say "it looks like this one"
but yeah the S5 TII aero package lip then
