Guest Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just came across this Hope it's not anyone on here!! Although there are no details about the speed of the accident etc it looks like they had a very lucky escape. Shows again why a roll cage is a good idea and how a defender roof is basically a tin box. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&S Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 WOW, you would never have thought anyone would get out of that, never mind quite literally walk away from it! Also scarey to see just how flimsy the Defender is if it does end up going over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 That's proper squashed! Very glad I have a proper red-band cage over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looking at the picture I think there is a slight mound in the foreground so there is probably a hollow where the lads heads would have been..... otherwise they would surely be dead? Bloody lucky escape though Edit: It looks like it might possibly be a drainage ditch that the car is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yostumpy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It only mentions two teenagers! no driver/passengers, so were they joyriding a stolen truck? Doesn't give enough details really. Possible it was legit tho I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Safety devices and Protection and Performance are your 2 main roll cage experts, Whitbread offroad also make them... I was juts lying in bed thinking as seen as I have the truck in piece parts again... it would be a good time to get a cage in it too... hmm food for thought.... thats one flat top...
