cargo barriers,drawer systems and packing.

This is my first thread for a fair while on a topic I hope never to cover again. On Sunday the 31st of July 2011 my wife and I were on the Meekatharra to Wiluna road travelling at about 90km per hour on a good stretch of gravel road when a rear tyre blew out on my 100series, 1and a half days into our 3 week CSR trip. The result was the 100series rolling 3 times and fortunatley landing on its wheels about 20 metres into the bush.
We could not get out of the car until others from the group forced open the rear doors to open the front doors. My wife (driver ) has plenty of bruising and stiff neck and a sore back and general body soreness, I ended up with 5 broken/fractured ribs and a totally written off 100 series.
The main reason for this thread is to suggest that some may want to review how you pack your 4wd as I watched in slow motion the movement of items in the rollover. About the only items that did not fly around in or out of the car were all contained inthe drawers . Mobile phones sitting on the dash and console became missiles,evev a water bottle sitting in its holder was found outside the car.
I had used square plastic boxes that were well strapped to the false floor,these did not fly aroud but did break where the straps were ( a much sturdier box will be used in the future). Even spare parts underneath the false floor made their way out of the car.All the door windows popped out as did the windscreen, the roof rack and roof top tent were found done the road and bits and pieces spread over an area of 200sq metres.
I would like to thank the St John ambos from Meekatharra as well as the police and volunteer firemen from the same town. The Doctors and nurses at The Meekatharra Hospital, the Royal FLying Doctors and the Trauma doctors and nurses at Royal Perth Hospital.
