DJ Safety makes them...

if your riding alot of dunes.............it's a good idea

 

[RMR Man]

Wrist restraints are an excellent idea when you are riding hard! They can prevent a lifetime of misery after a bad accident. Let the cage and you belts or harness do the dirty work, not your arms!

Thanks for the replies and link (even though it turned into a helmet debate).
All dune riding so far. Want to start riding the high desert more on the east side of the state.

Wrist restraints??? Ya, use 'em on my wife all the time; really spices things up..........LOL.

Seriously though, I used to have them for my old Odyssey (you needed 'em with that thing) but I haven't felt compelled to equip my RZR with them............yet. Kind'a like a parachute; you don't really need one 'til you really, REALLY need one and then its perceived value increases exponentially as your body gets ever-closer to the ground...........LOL.

Cheers

haha, yeah, sorry about that!

I have them, haven't installed all of them yet... I put one on each outside rear harness for the outside hand. I often have young uns back there and that way I know that arm is inside the vehicle. The door is too high for the other arm to make it's way out when they are harnessed in.

 

[THD]

Good point BarRZR...didn't think about them having a dual use. Now I will have to buy an extra set!

Yep, that's what I was thinkin' only in my case it's my girlfriend. Never thought about using them on her in the RZR too :rofl3:
Now if we can just come up with a way to use safty as an excuse for using a gag on her while riding ~ maybe say it will protect her teeth in the event of a roll-over like the mouth protectors boxers wear during fights! :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3:

Last Oct my wife was a passenger riding with another gir, they rolled it wish she would of had them on, She always wears a seatbelt so far her index finger had 13 screws and a plate, 50k later and she still has to have another surgery to finish it.

I would say all passengers should be required to wear them.

 

[SouthernGypsy]

Ouch, I always tell Kirika and any other passengers that if it starts to roll to grab the grab handle with BOTH hands and do not let go at all, no matter what they feel like, until it either comes to a complete stop or it's clear it wont actually roll.

Telling them a thousand times won't make them do it..
Natural reaction is to reach out..short of physical exposure to the scenario and training muscle memory to go for the grab bar chances are most will stick their ars out to "catch" themselves from falling in a real scenario where "fight or flight" gross motor control takes over.

When I rolled mine the first thing I did was stick my arm out even though in the back of my head I knew not to do it. Luckily I wasn't hurt but it could have been real bad.

Yep..without repeated realistic training involving having your body roll or multiple cases of actual rolls and getting lucky anyone who says "I'd never stick my arm out" is only kidding themselves.

There is a reason I get in a simulated aircraft and have it roll and then drop me into a swimming pool multiple times and then i have to escape before i drown lol...talking about it doesn't work..wrist restraints are a good idea.

 

[Swimnow]

It happens, we have a race car and even after all the times everyone is taught if you go to roll always grab your seatbelt across your chest with both hands and hold on, some times you react and not think.

 

[SouthernGypsy]

Yep, Kirika I'm confidant in, she was a champion gymast and well trained to control her natural instincts... She'd grab it and hold on for dear life, but others I tell that too I have no way of knowing if they'd let their instincts ovewhelm their good sense in an emergency.

 

[Swimnow]

After looking back we with there was an ohs*t bar on the inside of the roll bar, if it had one she might of grabbed it and been better off. She grabbed the roll bar and the weight of the razor crushed her finger, thumb and broke the middle finger, nothing they can do about the thumb it healed up fine, the broke finger healed but the index finger has another surgery to go.

We are welding a inside grab bar welded on our razors just for added safty.

That's terrible, Swimnow, and I'm really sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. RZR's are supposed to be fun, not injurious. I hope she heals quickly and well.
