    Doesn't leave ya a lot of room, look how the windshield header curled into the passenger area.

    Yep... hard to believe she walked away with no broken bones. It does go to show you that you don't necessarily stay upright in a rollover while wearing a 3 point seatbelt.

    Wow, I had no idea that part of the frame was so weak on the Solstices.

    I remember seeing a picture on an NC that rolled 5-7 times in Thailand and it didn't have near the same amount of damage in that area.
    Blah blah blah!

    At the Gap, there be dragons.....

    That one bit hard.

    Glad she wasn't too hurt. I'm surprised.

    It sounds to me like she went up the embankment and fell down upside down. Kind of like being dropped on your head. I could see how a more common barrel roll would apply less force to the windshield header.

    that's why you don't use 5 point harnesses without a rollbar.

    No miata sould be with out a Hard Dog bar of some sort. Even the sport is better than nothing. But I do have a cat for my avitar.
