Guy builds "thing" from Civic and refused to listen to advice

You guys just aren't grasping the F = G*((m sub 1*m sub 2)/r^2) of the situation

That's badass. That's what it should look like. Of course he is a professional. Makes a difference.

I don’t know the whole story or why he was actually ejected but this brings up a solid point that is probably the most over looked feature in a roll cage. Seat and harness mounts. I’ve seen some excellent cages with shitty seat and harness mounts.
I would venture to say that in at least 75% of all Motorsport crashes the cage isn’t what saved the life. The seatbelt is. I don’t care how nice your cage is, if your not restrained properly and your head taps a bar or you’re ejected your not gonna care how bent that cage is. This is in my opinion how jeep and all of the UTV manufacturers get away with such poorly built factory cages.
Watch some in car videos of Baja or rally crashes. The drivers can roll 20 times at 120mph but they never move in their seat. If they weren’t properly restrained the cage would likely cause more damage.

This guy probably had harnesses bolted through the sheetmetal floor with 5/16”bolts and fender washers. It’s sad that stuff like this happens. The dude had two kids that are now without a father because he didn’t know what he was doing.

I was watching one of those drag race TV shows the other night and a car crashed and they had in car cameras and I was amazed at how much the drive flung around in that car.
