AliveBoy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This story is a prime example of what I good roll cage can do. This Honda Insight flipped at 190MPH! it rolled over 15 times! The driver survived with a cut to his leg and a collapsed lung. Lets hope his cage designer got a big thank you present! http://www.carthrottle.com/this-roll-cage-saved-a-guy-from-a-190mph-honda-barrel-roll-of-death/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taras Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 reaching 190 is impressive. But the choice of Aero or lack of it looks to be the down fall of this speed attempt. They must have invested it all into the cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have invested it all into the cage. I'm no expert, but I'd say it looks like something like a crosswind got under the car. At those speeds a small bit of lift can be a huge issue. Whatever happened, that car is toast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 reminds me of Jeremy Foleys crash at Pikes peak last year - driver walked away, copilot had a dislocated shoulder. Absolutely unbelievable how much abuse a rollcage can withstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
