Rollbar / seats / harness stuff, yet again...

a B pillar will not give... it is designed as a 'roll bar'. you think a b-pillar will give if your head hits it, but won't give if the car actually rolls over? (its designed purpose)

and as far as the windshield frame goes (see above)... but also you'd be surprised how much stretching and movement goes on in a crash.


agreed that being strapped in w/o roll over protection CAN be bad. thats why i was asking how they hold up in a roll over. if they hold up pretty well, then i'd rather gamble that my odds of hitting something sideways, or head on, were much greater than being involved in a roll over.

tracking cars safely usually comes down to playing odds...

chances are you are going to hit something at an angle... rollovers are a long shot compared to impact.

in this case he is saying he is going to track the car anyway, and only place a little emphasis on safety for now... fine... his call.

factor in the odds of an 'earnhardt' vs a roll over... how well the OEM roof holds up... the fact that he is going to run 4-pts (available submarine room)... and a reclinable seat (available collapse room).

my money is on harness bar and HANS...
