I found this out back in the late 1960's before seatbelts were compulsory. Was 16 yrs old and a passenger in a car which hit a white post
on the road side. My head hit and smashed the windscreen and I had facial injuries which required plastic surgery. Only survived it because I managed to stem the flow of blood from an artery myself when I regained consciousness!!! Not a pleasant memory but I am one of the lucky ones.
Cheers,
Heather

Lucky boy. I was in the back seat in a 4x4 rollover as a kid with no belt. Luckily it was a slow one in mud but I still got injured by a flying toolbox. Seat belts and Cargo barriers are your friend!. Now I know why your current ute is FMOP 2! Mick

I was in a rolled ford 20t truck of an
embankment when I was younger - after a complete roll over back to upright, I was on the dash with the gearstick in an unpleasant place, one chap was half out the window and another had his head in the footwell and feet pointing to the roof! Like Mick and Heather I don't know what was worse - head butting the windscreen or being clobbered by all the tools laying around the cab. Unbelievable the truck survived almost unscathed - the hoist stopped the cab being crushed. Anyway we learnt our lesson - non of us have evere bought a ford again.
