Mentioned this on a thread the other day!
Many things need to be taken into account when fitting one
As Gary said they are only really designed as race/track use(with a helmet and full harness belts and usually a framed fia seat and probably a HAS system!
I have read a lot of insurance companies just say a flat NO when it comes to them!
That doesn't even matter when you imagine say a newage Subaru with a steering wheel airbag and seat side airbags taken out and a solid iron bar right next to your head!
It really doesn't matter how heavy you pad it it ain't gonna be like an airbag when you hit it!!!!
It's a choice thing I know, but on a road car I would never have one fitted ( I personally don't know anyone whose life was saved by a cage)
But airbags save lives on a daily basis as insurance figures would show !
