Arrow CG-Lock

Some of you may already have harnesses and rollbars to go with your vehicle. But for those who don't you might want to consider getting one. This gives you 80% of holding power a race harness does.
If it hadn't been for this device, as vehicle rolled I don't know if lap/seatbelt would've kept me in place but one thing's for certain CG-Lock kept my centre of gravity in place. Most importantly, this does not compromise your seat belt's safety when properly installed. I could go ad nauseum but there's more info here:
CG-Lock Performance Add-on for your Seat belt

I'm indeed blessed to be alive. Compounded with safety ratings of Subaru and harness power of CG-Lock I've only sustained minor cuts and bruises. Airbag slightly grazed my nose as it deployed-no harm done.

Godspeed

He was granny shiftin' and not double-clutchin' like he shoulda.







In all seriousness, thank God you're all right. Really sad to see another GD down though.

I said a ten second car, not a ten minute car.
You could push that across the finish line, or tow it.

So what happened, mang? Try to dodge a deer or something?

To my recollection, I was taking a turn, hit gravel tried to regain control but oversteered and eventually understeered. Next thing I remember was hitting embankment, spinning and eventually rolling the car. Buddy behind me said I rolled it twice. Ironically I wasn't even going fast, I was driving well within speed limit 35-40 MPH. But the looks of the car say otherwise.

Too bad there wasn't a reset button
