Glad to hear it was a minor injury. Still sounds painful.

Do they make any type of tether for your hands that would keep them close to the steering wheel? Seems like that would save a lot of arm injuries.

If it take more than 3 bolts to hold it on, it's probably crucial.

WELL AS TO POST THIS I WOULD SAY THIS WAS THE SAFEST ROLLOVER I HAVE EVER BEEN IN EVERYTHING HELD UP WELL I DIDNT GET HURT
OVER ALL I STILL INTEND TO RIDE ABOVE THE LEVEL THAT IS SAFE I JUST LOVE TO PUSH THE LIMITS AND THATS HOW YOU LEARN WHERE YOUR LIMITS ARE.
TO BE A GREAT RIDER YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR SELF DALIY AND TEST YOUR SELF CONSTANTLY ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMETS AND SAFTY GEAR!
always ride with a friend most of all HAVE FUN !!! be safe !!!! be happy YOU CAN ALWAYS BUY PARTS FOR YOUR RIDE BUT YOU CANT BUY A NEW BRAIN (or i'd a have one)
