I posted this on two differant topics, I just find this really important.
Hello, Earlier this year one of my kids rolled her buggy while racing in a gravel parking lot First I would like to say these are very safe machines that can be limited to a driver’s skill level.
Tight seat belts, helmet, goggles and riding gloves saved her from being hurt. She did scrap her wrist when she instinctively put her arm out while rolling.
Somewhere on this forum I read of a person who watched their son break an arm. Yuck it could have been prevented, by netting.
If you have not put Dazon's roll cage safety netting on your buggy please do so. I just received my netting from Nick at Dazon and the cost is minimal!
Below is nicks contact information. There is no part number for the netting so just ask for roll cage netting for your buggy.

She's smiling like she knows that roll and scrape gives her bragging rights with the other kids I love that pic of the jump. Everything about it is perfect! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!

Yea the broken arm was the pits and the bills are in and even with good insurance it is going to cost us around $1500 So netting sounds like a good investment to me.. By the way cast is off and arm is healed and he ask every day when I'm going to fix his buggy..
I keep telling people the netting is a great safety feature of this buggy. This one is still for sale here in the buggy classified section if interested.

Randy, I'm glad to hear your son is recovering. Bummer on the $1,500.00 but I would bet the $1500 is nothing compared to a hurt child. I'm sure he will be riding very soon.
When my daughter rolled her buggy; getting back too riding was good for both of us. She still has a great story and not many children are able to share with their friends about the importance of safety on ATV’s.
What I find nuts is all the children riding motorcycles with training wheels or riding quads. Last outing we had to call an air ambulance for a quad rider that crashed near our camp site. I love the open air concept but I need more safety. I consider myself an experienced off roader having rolled 3 Jeeps and 2 trucks with and end over end roll as the worst. I would rather roll or flip a vehicle with a roll cage than take a bad wipe out on my mountain bike!
For my family; selt belts and roll gages are required.

I heard that about the mountainbike! ouch
Keith, I think he is a bit far away, however, shuvit has one he said he is thinking of selling, sure wish he would make it down to Turkey Bay, I think he is in Louisville and has 3 Dazons, he had the cool video of his after taking the restrictors out.
rollcage netting sounds like a definite must, my boys can get a little squirrelly (might be from the 10-15mph Powerwheels we modified when they were younger)

He made it to the Bash this summer and said it didn't take him long to get here. I was thinking he was near Bowling Green though for some reason.
