Blatman Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Any links to the Combe roll video? If you have the Caterham Championship video (available from Caterham) for the 1998 season (I think), then you'll have it. I don't think it's on the web anywhere..........

DickieB Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I rest my case about a full cage. If the roll bar had been one side of the barrier, and his head the other, it would have been very different. Unlikely admittedly, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7SE Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I rest my case about a full cage. If the roll bar had been one side of the barrier, and his head the other, it would have been very different. The car could quite easily have landed upside-down on the barrier, in which situation the difference between a bar and a cage could have been critical.

Blatman Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 That's not the one I mean, Kieth. That one looks like it's at Camp Corner......it still isn't pretty though....... On the crash I mention, the roll cage does indeed protect the occupant from a barrier/head interface situation. Without it, he would have been in very serious trouble indeed. The accident began at pace too. If I remember Combe correctly, entry to Quarry, from Avon Rise, can be anything up to around 60-70mph. That's fast when you're upside down, and 10 feet in the air....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzer Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 This happened to me at Quary before I had the Westfield and why I have a full cage. Bazzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 You were taken away by the "Red Cross"? Your firewall playing up again? A Link to the picture works tho, must be size related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisG Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Actually I dont reckon he was on track at all, Im sure he was just watching on the bank there at Quarry and forgot to put the handbrake on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Hawkins Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 As the man driving/flying the rolling Westie....I can say that it was all over too quickly to get scared! Needless to say I am putting a full roll cage in the car....this one was slow, but I don't want to find out what would happen if it rolled at high speed.
