I was going to say, what nuts Broomer!!

I find normal seatbelts can be just as bad. I was a passenger in my old mans car and he crashed and I ended up with a horrible bruise across my, breast area. So its not just you guys its uncomfortable for!!

my biggest concern would be the engine coming through the front bulkhead

You seen the picture of that?

Its sickening.
What could be done to make the risks of this lower?

EDIT: My mate had his ball sack split open from skinnies when we where riding..

In my accident in October the enginge came into my footwell. Missed my legs by inches. I'm very very lucky as I should be dead or I could have lost my legs.

its the chance you take whether you fit a roll cage or not. yes, my spi's insurance will probably go up, but it isnt going to alter how i drive the car. as for padding, its a personal thing if you fit the lagging.

This is a stupid debate. If you crash in any mini with or without a role cage there is a chance of injury. The trick is to drive as safe as possible.

Actually. Its a group of people with experience discussing the pro's and cons of fitting a Rollcage.
