Hope the guy makes a full recovery, that's nasty.

Post by: muddyweb on June 17, 2006, 09:01:31: It happened on a challenge event last weekend. Both Steve and Rob were quite badly injured, but they are both recovering now.

Their vehicle rolled a number of times on a stage. There were 3 or 4 rolled vehicles that weekend.

The quality of roll cages is being discussed elsewhere on the forum... this is why bits of scaffold tube just aren't worth bothering about... the outcome would have been much worse if they weren't as well prepared.

Our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

just to put everyone at ease, we're both ok, Steve's jarred his neck, so he's resting it easy for a few days as a precaution, I'm back to normal(whatever that was!)

but a good rollcage is a good investment thats for sure!

Glad to hear you are as fully recovered as you can be.
NOW all you need to do is to borrow someone else's Vehicle ( with roll cage of course) and get back out :lol: :lol:
