I hope that Lew recovers. Does anybody know what happend? Did he lift, brake, or just carry to much speed and go off? Or, did something break? We don't know anything at this point. In looking at his cobra, it looks like a stock seat and a stock roll bar. I beleive with a stock roll bar in an spf, your head would still hit in a roll over. Without a high back race seat, your head would be moving around quite a bit. Most of these accidents occur on the street not the track. I agree with cranky in that if you have a cobra, you need to be educated. I have a taller hoop, forward brace and side impact bars, but, I am considering some upgrades just in case. Maybe some pictures of upgraded safety ideas in a cobra would be a good idea. Scott
