[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 344503, member: 1384"] As soon as some of the top players (or anyone that wants to play/compete on that level) sets the bar for safety, others will follow. Mainly because when you feel safer, you can drive harder and faster with more control. The problem is now, that $150 Corbeau Baja SS and solid Kirkey seats, with $50 G-force or RJS 4 point harnesses is the standard safety gear for buggies now-a-days, PRP, Twisted Stitch, and Master Craft all build seats to order, and there are some great vendors on here that will help you get exactly what you need, or you can call direct. On my old ECORS stock class rig, I was also amazed at the difference when I went from some cheap-o Crow harnesses to some PRP "pull-up" style (you pull the lap belt slack toward the center, rather than away to tighten the lap belts, WAY EASIER to get the belts tight). The belt adjusters were also higher quality, easier to adjust, and held better. And the actual belt webbing was a better fabric that was more pliable and easier to get tight. A neck brace (even a cheap helmet donut) under a motocross or fullface helmet will help stabilize your head, and focus more on driving instead of looking around, or trying to keep your heat on straight. Also, USE the crotch strap on your 5 points, and adjust it accordingly to keep the lap belts down ON your pelvis. Oh, and if you are competing in motorsport, why would you NOT wear a motorsports helmet? Those rockclimbing/skateboard helmets look like a good option to keep in a trail rig for those time when your on some really hard **** or there is chance you might roll off a bluff or something, but hauling ****ing balls at a huge hill and jumping rock slabs and ledges it a whole 'nother ball game [/QUOTE]
