CCDA rule clarification window nets
Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2004 11:30 am
Does a Soft top soft side windows satisfy the requirements for window nets ??
Given they will have the same effect in a roll over ie will not crack or break will withstand a similar amount of impact before tearing and will prevent any stray body parts flying out (we all know ambos perfer to keep all the bits they have to pick up in one spot not scattered up and down the hill
)
Given some of the window nets I have seen already installed I would think the soft top window would be even safer as some guys seem to be using not much more than thick fishing net not a full cargo style net used by CAMS for their events
IMHO someone needs to define exactly what is the minimum spec for window nets and their installation
