These things were awesome! Best fun to ride on and great quick attack trucks! Not very safe in a roll over crew seats had no roll over protection. A roll over would have been nasty!!!!!

Had some of the best fire fights I can remember on the back of one of these. 8-)

As far as rollover protection , if i was on the back always made sure the chin strap was tight on my topguard helmet, so I was okay :-D
