Title: Sidecar Safety if a Roll Over occurred
Post by: Loose Goose-Terry#1 on December 10, 2006, 01:17:50 PM

 :? Has anyone considered how a driver would be able to exit a streamliner sidecar if it spun and landed UPSIDE DOWN? The driver would not be able to open the canopy  :cry: without someone or something turning the streamliner on its side or right-side-up. I ask this question BECAUSE I don't want to be the first to test the theory.  :oops:

If this has been considered, would someone PLEEESE let me know how to eliminate this potential hazard?

Thanks,

Terry A. Hume

Terry, that's why we have safety patrols at every mile, two roving patrols and two emergency vehicles along the courses. We also follow all streamliners ( Car & Bike)with the fire and ambulance for that reason. Our people are very qualified and fast to any incident.
