Most sand cars out there are cage is out of 095 tubing for weight on sand as opposed to a desert race or offroad car which is 120 wall, as well as a deser chassis has more down tubes reinforcing the roof to mid cage, so I agree a desert car is going to hold up a hell of lot better than a sand chassis...but as kenny said that whas just a flat impact upside down! thats gonna cause some serious body damage(back,spine..etc..)regardless things happen just have to be safe out there any car take take someone(unfortunately). we can only respect the cars and they will respect you...My thought s are with those families thats a sad sad deal
