RZR rollover crash Friday night on Comp

Friday night a RZR lost control near the top of comp hill and rolled several times. The driver, a 58 year old man, grabbed the door during the roll and inured his hand which required to him to have three fingers amputated. He also suffered a fractured sternum, fractured elbow, and a fractured femur. There was a passenger in the vehicle and no injuries were reported for him.

When accidents happen we always try to figure out how they could be avoided or if there was a way to prevent injury. We don't know the specific details of how this man was injured, but it is always a good idea for those who drive side x sides and buggies to wear a wrist restraint. Wrist restraints prevent your arm/hand from getting caught outside the vehicle in the event of a rollover. It is simply a velcro strap that attaches to your wrist and usually clips into your safety belt/ harness clip. Shown below is an example made by Crow. They are also available through companies like DJ Safety.
