Too many to post them all, but here are some samples...

At about the moment he realises its about to go bad...

Image
On the second or third roll...

Image
When it came to rest...

No roll cage and only the OEM lap and diagonal belt. The dude was
lucky and walked away battered and bent, but without any serious
injuries. More than can be said for his car... it was totalled.

Cheers... jondee86

Should shut anyone up though that complains about not being able to take passengers in a car with no cage.... Passenger wouldn't have faired so well in that situation :?

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Shows a reason to have a roll cage in any car is a good idea

any car that's used on the track*

Unless you drive around with a helmet on and strapped tight into a fixed back seat with harnesses all day, a roll cage in a road car isn't the brightest idea.

Been in a roll with similar damage to the passengers side, top of the seat was what saved me. Looking at the car, you would have sworn no one could have survived.

Driving along -> upside down in a field. $&#$% lag.
