Roll Bar Comments

[B. SMITH]

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

IN 1995 MY WIFE AND I ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER A COBRA WAS REAR-ENDED BY A TRUCK TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MPH. THE COBRA HAD GOTTEN LOOSE AND SPUN 180 DEG. INTO THE ONCOMING LANE ON A 2- LANE BRIDGE. THE BELTED, VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER SADLY DIED IMMEDIATLY FROM HEAD INJURIES DUE TO SNAPPING BACKWARD INTO THE ROLL- BAR.......

WE ONLY HAVE THE DRIVER BAR BUT ALSO HIGHER SEATS WITH HEADRESTS ON THE SEATS. OUR FIRST COBRA HAD NO ROLL-BAR.

THERE IS NO PERFECT ANSWER BUT THE STOCK CAR GUYS WRAP THE BARS NEAR THE DRIVER WITH HI-DENSITY FOAM-RUBBER AND WEAR HELMENTS...

LET'S KEEP AN EYE IN OUR REAR VIEWS..... B. SMITH
