Have you ever seen the speed which these are driven at by 'some' drivers ??? UNBELIEVABLE !!!! and the fact that they are only around 4 ft wide is the reason that they could turn over. They need to have restrictors fitted.
Anyway, unlike other contributors, I hope the fella gets well soon.
come on lgwatcher, at least read the article, he only had a few bruises!

And no doubt the poor rate payers will have to pick up the tab for the wreck of this machine?
How exactly do you roll over any vehicle been driven in a reasonable manner with no other vehicle involved?
