Funny thing about it is I built his buggy with him, and a lot of thought was put into tube placement and safety. The doors on it are high to try to keep your arms in during a roll, but that doesn't help when you purposely grab them. One thing I think could have been a factor was that he doesn't tend to wear the shoulder straps of his 4 point harness much, as he's still not used to having them. I believe when the accident happened he was bracing himself on the cage because of the hard side angle. If he had been wearing the shoulder belts tightly there would have been no need for this as they would have held him in place. Right now both of my shoulders are chafed raw from the 4 points in the RockIt, but I didn't get bouced around, and when I rolled it doing something simple I barely moved at all. Once everything stopped I grabbed the roof to hold myself, released the belts and climbed out to start hookin up the winch cable. No worries, just a spilled bag of pretzels and a little lost fuel.
