found this on you tube, it is a good indicator of how "soft" minis are, note how bad the intrusion is on the back end !! those of us with hot minis on the roads beware !! this car rolls over and hasnt hit any road furniture.

thats what happens when you cut curners though - she hits the tyres on the near side, thats what rolls her, but i see your point about minis being "soft" Edited by stefaz on 19th Sep, 2007. On 23rd Oct, 2009 sim_ou_nao said:

true, but rolling is safer than coming to a dead stop On 23rd Oct, 2009 sim_ou_nao said:

And I just had a female work colleague ask me the other day why I had a roll bar in a Mini of all things. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

hehehe if the cages are done propperly and tied in the roof tends not to bend accross as it has in this case, mind it does get beaten up regardless, my rally x car was rollled before i got it and another roof was welded on from half way up the posts. the previous owner didnt make the same mistake twice and the whole cage was tied in there after.

Yes I agree but there is still a risk of getting limbs nipped between cages and bodywork and not to mention on the road you have no helmet and in some cases no padding or even harnesses. I know my particular roll bar would probably kill me in a crash. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

my theory is based on g force richie - if the car carries on moving for a longer period, less force passes through the body at any one time, potentially causing less damage to the soft fleshy object within the vehicle On 23rd Oct, 2009 sim_ou_nao said:

How come they've written it off Jackman, is the damage that bad? Did you have an agreed valuation? Yeah ive got an agreed value, his insurance wont accept that value so they are sending "independant valuers" out tomorrow to value the car, the shell seems to be twisted, but i cant tell without stripping, i know the rear subframe is scrap. |

yep mate except the inertia of being fliped and rolled can equally snap ure neck, put ure face through the side glass, head comes through side glass then car rolls over it, seen it many a time mate, nightmares at PM's for families identifying bodies.

fair dos richie, but having crashed by rolling and walking away from it gives perhaps a slightly different perspective. that said i have never crashed a mini and touch wood i dont. i dont doubt that both are equally dangerous - god knows we would all rather not crash at all.
