3rd Off-Roader Killed in last couple months

[Desert Jewel]

This weekend another off-roading member/competitor, Tom Guaraldo, was killed. This makes 3 in the last couple months. All three of them were just testing out their rig without wearing their seatbelts. Tom was across the street doing a quick spin out like he always did, but the tires didn't slide, he rolled and was killed instantly. We were notified of his death at the end of the W.E. Rock event. They are putting together a safety video on the importance of wearing your seatbelt no matter if you are just moving your vehicle onto the trailer or out of the garage.

Please, buckle up before you even start your vehicle!!! We don't need to lose anyone else because they didn't take a couple seconds to buckle up.

I don't know what's more stupid ... not wearing a seat belt or doing a "spin out" across the street in an offroader.

it is YOUR job to confirm all passengers are belted before you move the vehicle. did you learn anything from this experience?

Theres was an thread on Pirate on helmets. The thread goes along to the gravity stock seat builts. They dont keep you completely in in a roll over.

I was in a roll to the side when someone was pulling me off the trail in front of back door after losing spark. The guy pulling was over a hill and could not see us and the spotter so go before we had our belts on. My daughter was almost hurt but I was able to grab her. Belts should be on the minute you get in just for good habit on the trail.
