Default roll over

a few months back a friend of mine and me were riding aroun in the field... goin around 40-45mph... well he thaught he was gonna be funny and come close to t-boning me.... well needless to say he didnt come close he did t bone me... it rolled 3 times and then landed on its side... it broke all kinds of stuff... and crushed the cage in.. and my helment got cut on the rite side all the way through the outside plastic and came a 1/4 inch from my head from the bolts on the roll cage... so i came that close to dying... if i wasnt wearing a helment i would be dead... heres some pics of the damage...

I'd say it kinda did its job as far as the cage is concerned. Man you really get some use out of your toys. I didn't realize they even made a single seater.
