You can’t stop a car rolling over by sticking your hand out.

NEVER stick your arm out when you roll over. Fortunately the co-driver was wearing an approved woollen safety hat.

In many countries you cannot register a convertible without a roll-bar fitted. It is obvious that the organisers had no provision for recovering a roll-over.

Organisers shouldn't have let a open top vehicle on that track period ! Bad management

For those wondering what happened to cancel the event: a small open top car went up the run too fast and was bouncing off the sides of the run. It made to under the cameraman but stopped on the bank, and because it was on the bank there was not enough grip for the brake to work properly. This made the car roll back at a significant rate and it went up the bank under the tree on the right of the cameraman on the other side of the course. This made it tip mostly on its side which caused the driver and co-driver to fall out of the car. With the reduced weight the car got back on its wheels, managed to turn around and went straight of the edge of the course, down a steep hill on the far right of the frame. On its way down, it hit a man and his kid (the man managed to shield the child from any direct contact with car). And the car came to a stop when it hit a tree at the bottom of the course. As far as I know, the drivers and the man the car hit walked away from the situation without any life threatening or altering injuries.

That was taken from the famous Gerald Hoffman... about the man and the wheelbarrow... Very funny....haha well done...😊

I'm a motor club member and two old boys brought a trials-prepped Mk1 Mazda MX5 to a gravel autosolo. It didn't have the wanky chrome roll hoops, but was wearing a Mazda hardtop. Well they turned it over, pancaked the windscreen frame, which did NOT support the weight of the car, crushed the hardtop, but fortunately their heads hitting the ground prevented worse damage to the car. As a result they got to meet the nice paramedics and doctors from the local Air Ambulance, which was terribly exciting for those of us without serious head injuries. Henceforth all convertibles had to have at least a 4 point roll bar and the occupants had to wear crash helmets. I fitted a 4 point roll bar with door bars to my MX5 before the next event, as did everyone else running a MX5.

​@@rallyactionuk1322, quite. I co-own a MX5 with a mate. We were running a hardtop with stock style chrome hoops behind the seats We hadn't done any tests at the time the other MX5 went over. I was the only other person present running a MX5 who chose to go out and run a test, but I only did two tests to check the new diff guard, super-duper fabricated rear subframe brace and our new MIG spec differential. After that I put the car on the trailer. My mate refused to run, the big girl. He said, "I have a wife and two kids" to which I replied, 'Oh aye, so I'm expendable then?'

@@cogboy302 You'd be better off without the chrome style bars. They're only attatched to the seat belt mounts, not the rails, They're known for folding forwards when you roll, hence their nickname "decapitators". A proper roll bar, like what hard dog or tr-lane sells will actually support the car when you flip it.

Seems insane to do this in an open top car! Good luck keeping all you limbs intact if (when) you roll.

I’m sure it for traction so they got some weight over the drive wheels plus they run the tyres at a low pressure for more grip which can lead to punctures

The Lock on the wheels was the wrong direction as he started to descend and the fact that the rear tire was flat and dug in didn’t help the matter

No offence, but the roll over protection they left installed in that Z3 is woeful, even if they are ok "this time"
