Nothing, Thats the idea.

The whole point is that if the car rolls you fall out of the seat sideways and land on the roof, That way avoiding the roof comming down onto your neck and turning you into a human sized slinky.

Thats why i always laugh when i see Boy Racers with 4 point racing harnesses and no roll cadge, If they had a crash and flipped they would be toast.

the point im trying to make is gti.....

its all very well having an airbag if your head is gonna hit the wheel and its great if your gonna hit something going head on. but realistically we are gti drivers - we love our cars but theres nothin to stop someone coming sideways at us unless where in a sps volvo.  :-\

the way i see it is, if your gonna crash, your gonna crash - no amount of seatbelt or airbag is gonna save ur arse unless impact is at the right angle perfect for the saftey system. ::)

momo wheels all the way!!!!  8)

i have to agree with Black here. probably the first time some one has, but then my sense of logic ust got wwarpedby and a otlle of (dammkeyborad) a boottle of bacarid.

dang

anyway, added saftey features do make the difference, and after seeing the smash between an Esppace (90 somert) and Espace (2000 somert) on Five, it as quite shocking the protection the newer car gave over the older vehicle, and also, the detriment to which an odl vehicle suffered when being hit by a new vehicle.
