Uh, Camelracer, you are the one saying "Oops" and it looks like you in the photo. Is there a story that goes with this?
 
Somehow I haven't done that yet. Whats the story on the roll? Thats a fair amount of damage to the roll cage if all it did was flip on its side. I'm figuring it was more than that.
 
Isn't this the kind of event that 4X4/jeep guys live for...so they can use their getting-unstuck/self-rescue gear and whatnot? :unsure:
Even better if they can use their welder?
;)
 
TdS has a way of doing things like that.
A parallelogram roll cage will distort like that somewhat easily, a properly triangulated cage will not. The problem is that a properly triangulated cage is hell to live with and work around because there's a tube in the way of pretty much anything that you want to do. A roll cage should probably be treated like a helmet anyway. One good hit and it's junk regardless of how it looks.
