Pikes Peak - I don't think you can crash bigger than this really

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Fair play that roll cage held together by the looks of it!

 

[.LiamC.]

Holy S***! Did he survive that?

 

[Gaz.]

Yeah I think they survived, from what I've gathered.

Was a big smash, pretty lucky!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yes unbelievably!

 

[roberto.]

f**king hell, that's like a scene out of a film.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It's that impact at around 6 seconds that gets me! That roll cage saved their lives, simple.

 

[DaveDreads]

Jesus!!!

Thank f*ck for roll cages.

 

[jonesyblue87]

ouch!

 

[mitch1503]

jesus christ.. that cage did look 2 stand up well to that pounding

 

[Wick]

 

[Addicted]

Jesus christ!

THAT is why you buy a quality cage, not some shitty bolt in one you got from your mothers brother dad on the cheap!

 

[Zmaster2k]

f**k me!!

going to go kiss my custom cages cage later!!

 

[Lal B3N]

Mental! Bet that was a shock to them.

At least they survived ok though.

 

[Bluebeard]

Jesus christ!

THAT is why you buy a quality cage, not some s**tty bolt in one you got from your mothers brother dad on the cheap!

I was trying to explain that in the ''Cheap ebay rollcage'' thread but got shot down.

I think i'll stick to my proper cage thanks.

 

[.GAZ.]

Jesus!

Cage for the GTI-6 I think.

Safety Devises FTW

 

[ColinG]

Wow that was nasty indeed! Like being in a giant tumble dryer!

 

[JoeyD]

'orrible crash.

Both survived, one was seriously injured but not critical IIRC.
Amazing how strong that cage is though - looks like it was quite a big drop!

 

[GiT]

Huge off!!! Cage of the gods that 1!

 

[McGherkin]

Balls. I wanted to watch Pikes Peak.

Bit of a shunt though, lucky guys.

 

[x8mrk]

huge crash crazy

 

[Fletcher]

Lucky to survive that!

 

[tom172cup]

Im glad that i have just finished putting one in the cup.

 

[Zmaster2k]

was in garage... kissed cage lol

 

[dunganick]

Crazy crash, reminds me of some of the WRC crashes you see on similar roads.

This on the other hand is much quicker. Stuck throttle @ 130mph.

 

[Eddie.]

s**t the bed!

That leaves the road at some pace!

 

[domjolly]

f**k me...Amazed they survived.... On another nit what the f**k is that cage made out I didn't realise anything could deal with that much punishment

 

[Gally]

Fack! That's mental. An instant feeling of death would wash over you.

Did someone die at last years?

T45 Steel.

 

[Sam]

How someone survived the first vid is beyond me.

Thanks god for cages and seatbelts!

 

[Gaz.]

Let's face it, if you're going to be hurtling round mountains at those speeds with those drops, you'd spend good money on the safety gear!

 

[Waitey]

At the end of the day spinning at 60 mph at Brandes is a shite sight different from driving off a mountain....

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mental, glad to see they didn't scrimp on their safety gear, or seat mountings.

 

[philmots]

Bloody hell..

I'd like to see an on board. Wonder what they said to each other when they just knew they were going off? bet it went in slow motion for 'em like.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

that corner the evo goes off, seems to be the most common corner for people to go off.... you'd think they would put a barrier on that corner but then the fun of driving on the edge would not be as exciting. cage held up well tho, glad they made it out !

 

[Englebert]

f**k me...Amazed they survived.... On another nit what the f**k is that cage made out I didn't realise anything could deal with that much punishment

In the US rollcages are MUCH beefier.

 

[Chapppers11]

Just seen this, do they have solid floorpanels in them?

 

[Eliganza]

That'll polish out etc...

 

[Silent_Scone]

Saw that the other day. Serious case of roll cage save. Nothing left of the car by the end of it. Lucky to have survived
