Reasons for buying a cage !!!

(1/5) > >>

GREENI:
This was what I recovered at a Fun Day the other weekend..
Certainly food for thought, for all you people who don't have a cage....BE CAREFUL.
Driver was simply trying something that was a little too challenging...

OOPS :shock:

I have pretty much decided that im not going to do anything other than drive on flat wet (and not too wet) grass without a cage.

Its amazing to me how many poeple think that only the experts need a cage as they do that hard stuff, having seen a defender that had a roll theres no way id want to be in one that went over.

Although im yet to do any events I have seen what happens at track days to peoples cars who come off and all of a sudden its not fun anymore. So dont think "it wont happen to me!"

You're quite safe as long as you don't do anything stupid (ala try to recreate parts of the Camel Trophy at a Pay and Play) and don't go beyond the limitations of the vehicle and your skill on given terrain.

What I wouldn't mind knowing is what the bloody hell was the Discovery driver doing to end up with the vehicle on its roof like that?  Were they trying to launch the front end into the air or something daft like that?

GREENI:
If you look on the first youtube clip...
To the left of the Disco there's a climb, with, on the left side, a bit of vertical cliff type overhang...they went up that, flat out, so it just flipped 'em straight over  :shock: :shock: :shock:
I'll put a pic of the driver on here for you...Sat on the ground  :shock: :-# :-> :doh:
