All the roll bars in the world won't help unless you wear your seat belt or harness.

acox914,
Good point.
Maybe you're suppost to grab the roll bar just before impact.  :lol:

well, i DO have a bar under the dash and bar's to the front shock towers/fender-wells.

that "should" help keeping the gauges and windshield away from me ...
Andy

i dont think its them moving at you... i thinkits you moving at them before the seatbelts lock-
and a bar infront of your knees cant be a good thing- people already get f-ed up by the underdash in their cars- a steel bar cant feel good on your kneecaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

sorry, i think your wrong Andy

the bar goes behind the lower dash pad, btw.
so, even IF, i would hit the dash-pad which should provide at least "some" protection ...

i still dont think that has anythng to do with the placement of your hands (or head) at the point of impact. the cage is irrelavent- when you impact something- everything that is in motion wants to stay in motion- thus your body will keep moving until the instance when the seatbelt locks. you will still smack the guages

how much are your elbows bent when you are driving? i doubt you are driving completely straight armed just to reach the steering wheel. they will hit the dash on impact- with 5 point harness- head is another story

just a bit. i barely fit in there anyways.
i don't think my hands will be the problem, unless they would be squashed inbetween the gauge-cluster and steering wheel.
but if the gauge-cluster moves towards me, the steering wheel will do the same. they are on the same piece of metal, not separated.

depending on the speed, i'd be much more concerned about bruises from the belt-harness ...

i usually hold on to my steering wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

again, i only see that happening if i either let go of the steering wheel, in which case my fingers could end up pretty much anywhere, or if the gauge cluster would move towards me and the steering wheel would stay in place (which is highly unlikeley, considering that they're mounted onto each other).

I was doing about 50 mph in a RX-7 race car when I T-boned the Vette that did a spin right in front of me. Totaled my car. I did not have any injuries. I figured the next day I would at least be sore and bruised. Nothing.
A snug 5 point harness and a cage worked for me.

Optical thing, but it looks like that drop-off transition that causes all my oversteer hitting HWY 278.
