Well, the RZR got rolled at the dunes by my wife and when I ran up to check on the occupants I thought I heard some not so good noises and feared my brothers hand was stuck under it. Luckily it was just them LMFAO and nobody hurt and RZR is fine. The four point harnesses and helmets did their job. Really lucky on the helmet ... my brothers head really smacked the ground good. Anyways, got me thinking really should do wrist restraints as I dont want the next time to be someone screaming with there hand stuck under it as with my half doors it the most likely thing to happen now. Anyone have wrist restraints tied up to the OS bar or simialr and/or know a good product to buy ???

Good comment on the neck doughnuts too. This is the next liability. Ours just did a very simple and fairly slow flip on its side and with the belts holding you in the neck is very vulnerable ... wifes neck was sore a bit. It also makes more sense in this toy to as you need mirrors anyways as the belts restrict your head movement so much there really is no excuse for not using doughnuts. It also just helps general neck strain while cruising around for those who are not use to supporting a helmet on their head ... my mom had this issue when I took her out on some trail rides. Dont now exactly what they do but know NASCAR does soemthing with head restraints and maybe something similar is also an option.

NASCAR uses a HANS (Head And Neck Something) device. It basically connects your helmet to your torso. It also protects the collar bone from the seat belts.

Why would a street bike helmet provide better protection than a dirt bike helmet?

I believe the wrist restraints UTVcrap is describing tie your wrists to your lap belt, so they work with a steering wheel.

My local Honda dealer has a new neck-restraint system they sell specifically for riding off-road....can't remember the name, tho.

They make a Laett brace but it's very expensive. I got my 2 year old an EVS youth brace from rockymountainatv and it supports his neck very well especially when he's got his helmet on. It was only $12.00

in response to cooter,street bike helmets have higher standards due to the insane speeds they go,my triumph daytona 675 hits 80mph in 1st,96in 2nd 112 in 3rd 124 in 4th 141 in 5th 158 in 6th,your quads,dirt bikes,rzrs,rhinos go that fast?now notice how street helmets are bigger,thicker,ie narlyer impact resistance,back to my wreck if you have not read the tree won you should,pasenger, street helmet visor down,fine,me, dirt helmet branch in face= pain thats my 2 cents thanks mtnmike
