Never buy knock off safety equipment.........

[AdamCup]

I'm sure most don't but for the people who do.......

 

[Stefan.]

What a mong. State of that steering wheel too.

 

[william84]

That's a belter no pun intended

 

[RSRowe]

I'd love to know who in the right mind buys s**t like that in the first place, never mind thinking it's safe

 

[Daz...]

Sounds like he was doing his best to put a rod through the block or leave the contents of the gearbox on the floor.

 

[Gouldy]

Good lord......

 

[Matt Cup]

Made of chinesium just like the harnesses.

 

[Krarl]

And this is why you never buy from Wish 😂

 

[Usr117063]

Power first safety second

 

[imprezaworks]

Wow

 

[william84]

Wonder what has internal injuries were

 

[Darren61]

Jeeeeez.

I bought Sabelt 6 Point Harnesses for my track Clio. It’s a no brainer isn’t it? Your spine, your neck, your head, your limbs.

Or you could just save yourself £200 but end up in this type of situation...

 

[Matt Cup]

I’d hazard a guess that his helmet is made of paper mache and his race suit is flammable too.

oh and his roll cage is plastic tubing.

I assume he lost the brakes and was using the engine to try and slow it down?

unreal that people risk their life by buying knock off safety gear, you would be better saving weight and just not fitting any at all if that's the case!

 

[charltjr]

22 euro for a brand new set of harnesses. What could go wrong eh?

There was this test a year or two back too, was pretty well publicised at the time IIRC.

The guy who sold them got an 18 month jail sentence suspended for two years 🤷‍♂️

 

[Djw John]

That video at the bottom of the article is horrific. You'd be better not wearing any belt than that thing.

 

[McGherkin]

eBay racecars FTW.

Oh wait.

 

[Andy_con]

at the risk of sounding stupid, whats a fake harness?

A harness that says it's genuine but in fact isn't?

IIRC these were OMP ones from Alibaba, they had FIA tags and stuff in them. Obviously that was all fake too.

ah so it is a harness but its made from poor quality parts that aren't up to standard.

ive no idea as ive not seen it in person, but from the photo of the broken part, it looks like aluminium.

Doubt it. That will be the deluxe model.

I'll guess its more like cardboard tubing from several dozen bog rolls.

Specifically it's Chinesium.

So maybe those Chinese brake pads and discs weren't a good idea either?

Pfff seen it a couple of times now and it almost hurts me seeing that guy hit the steering wheel..

 

[Martin.]

I cant watch it again, looks like he has spinal injuries

 

[R3k1355]

I cant watch it again, looks like he has spinal injuries

Still able to move arms and legs though, which considering the impact is probably good for him.

 

[brisa4984]

He end up slouched. Would have had some compassion through his spine. Silly fucker

 

[Usr117063]

Meanwhile, this guy walks away from this. Clear view at 1:50

 

[R3k1355]

Jesus the fence at that place is epic

 

[JamesBryan]

Mad how strong those NASCAR are built.

 

[dlb cup]

Looks like his break's are from wish as well
