Surviving a Rollover - how safety equipment saved life

Before starting Ringfreaks Nr.1 priority for rental race cars was safety, and after 8 years it still Nr.1! And for a reason - once safety equipment is needed, it must work!
In this video I am reviewing a rollover of one of our BMW F30 328i. Horrible accident which luckily ended up with just a scratch for a driver and crumbled metal art left for us at Ringfreaks. And even all our work was destroyed in seconds - we are more than happy that safety equipment did its job 100%.
Also in the end of the video I am showing how to properly use 6-point harness and helmet. Proper use of these makes all FIA and other safety features assist You most once things goes south.
I really hope, no one would ever suffer such accident - but it can happen if you are racing and you should be ready! Stay safe!

    great video and thanks for the safety brief.. very useful for everyone! glad the driver came out ok!.. the helmet is mostly important if you have a rollcage since it is closer to your head as well, the possibility of the shoulder strap loosening incase of an impact and your body moving 1cm could make all the difference between permanent brain damage or walking away safely. Always wear your helmet :D

    It's a great car to do many laps and have fun in, given the price point! And gives you a lot of confidence, very predictable. But as mentioned, it's not a powerful car. In order to be able to have fun with it, you need to keep your momentum especially when overtaking other cars that are slower in the corners but faster in acceleration. That is the main challenge with this one. But the fun factor is 9.5/10.
