Seatbelts save lives

What harnesses do you guys use for kids? They would get out if I were to ever try anything hard but the lap belt just doesnt do much for my 5 year old. he needs a harness.

I use PRP SXS harnesses in my back seat (back seat has headrests and is mounted to sub frame and I have a cage mounted rear seat belt bar for the shoulder straps). When my kiddos were small they were required to sit on a booster seat as well.

Re:

JohnG has good info on youth seats for under 5 kiddos.....maybe he will chime in. I need to pm him at least and I will post up. My daughter loves to ride at 4 years and and she is more important than any of us on this board. Least I can do is strap her in and keep her safe.

I rolled off a hill Sunday backflipped two times and barrel rolled 3 times, had my belts on and small axle helmet, I'm sore but I walked away... Safety does pay off

ATTABoy, ride hard with confidence. This needs to catch like wildfire before we are reading "sorry to hear that, prayers sent" again... :****:

You never know when it will happen!

Will.... where did it happen? Was he in a rzr or buggy? We left while they were attempting the bounty hill and didn't see who it was or where it happened

This is one of my buddy's that was thrown out of a Ranger while driving down a perimeter road at Talladega top trails last year. You never know when something can go wrong.

My son and I flopped our rhino on the side yesterday. Thankfully he and I had our seatbelts on or it could have been real bad. He had a small scratch on his forearm <1/8" and I was unharmed. Made me nearly pinch a hole in the seat when I seen it going over on his side.

Wow, is his leg as screwed up as it looks?

It was bad enough that they flew him to the hospital. He doesn't really remember it but it looked like his leg hugged a tree mid flight. They put a rod and some screws in his femur then he had to go through about 6 months of therapy before he could go back to work. That was last February and he still hasn't fully recovered.

Re:

I agree Will, you did good here. People are gonna follow you around because they like to mess with you, you used that to remind people of something would should already be doing. I don't know if this post has saved anyone, but it definitely hasn't hurt. So I say good job and keep it up

Check out the vid, looks like the shoulder strap mount is broke and the seat is loose also looked like a loose laughing gas bottle flying through the air liked to have seen this car up close and checked out the welds before the crash last week

If I had to guess the welds probably broke due to the materials used, a lot of times people are welding mild steel brackets to chromeoly frames. which can be done but chromeoly is bad about the welds cracking anyways, look at how many offroad teams leave the chassis bare just to keep up with cracks, and you can look at any dragster you want and they will have a few small cracks.

I agree to some point but he had just took off and was not at real high speed, I know it was a hard hit and hard roll but that's alot of main parts to fly off of a new built ride

I used to be bad about just wearing a lap belt but now I wear my shoulders pretty much all the time. We went to AOP on the 4th of July and I can only think of one or two times I didn't have all 5 on. The only time it was inconvenient was on 41 in the rock garden I couldn't lean out and see what I was hung up on.
