Re: IRP incident

I did not see Steve's actual rollover as I was Black Flag and couldn't see 
over the fences and Armco.

The roll bar took a hit on the left upper corner that flattened the outer 
side of the roll bar, but 

a: it was properly built and held its shape other than the local flattening
b: Steve was wearing his arm restraints properly located and adjusted

I imagine that his fractured wrist came from hitting either the diagonal bar 
or the steering wheel or column.

It is a testament to proper height and construction of the roll structure and 
proper use of arm restraints that definitely saved him from much more serious 
injuries.
