That would easily have crushed that little tin foil roof if the cage wasn't there

Yeah. Deffo would have been alot worse with no cage. Often get away with one roll but a 2nd would flatten the roof!

Must get a roll cage for mine.

Nearly rolled it today, then got a puncture!



Rock/tree slides are good though, a BMW drove into the side of me on the way home around 10MPH ruined his car but the LR was fine!

wow.... that was real random

what happened was there was a bit of a bump and someone hit it a bit hard with a passenger who had never sat in before and didnt have a neck brace, no rolling or smashing just a heavy nose dive. all sorts of worries about neck and spine etc.

then we did that roll and walked away fine
