While we each may have preferences for the style or design of both roll-bars/cages and seat-belts, few would argue against the need for them in our buggies. It disturbed me when a buggy that went on a run at Big Bear had neither of these safety devices. No one wants to have someone suffer injuries or feel responsible for having not prevented an injury. If each of us follows safety guidelines not to mention the law, there won't be the need for creating technical inspections prior to runs. After all, we are here for the fun.
Here is an old posting from Mike and Mel.
We all love a good 'oldschool' buggy. But you should really consider going to a full cage as soon as possible. The single hoop has a tendancy to fold over if you roll over at any kind of speed. We lost a good friend in a buggy roll over a couple of years back. Here is a pic of another roll over that dramatically illistrates what could happen. Yes, we ran a single hoop for years, but after our friend's death, put the cage on the top of our priority list (Mel is STILL waiting for her new expresso machine
. I just tell her to look at the new roll cage and pretend.....).
