Local man that I have met a time or 2 since we are the only ones in our small town that daily drive our Bronco's. He had 2 off them and very proud of his rides. We all know these things we pour money into can ger squirrely sometimes. The 2 best safety features to have is a rollbar and a set of sway bars.

Terrible and sorry to hear. Looks like that particular cage is still sitting where it should be. Several rolls on the concrete is hard on the body even with roll cage and seat belt.

Yes the roll bars stayed in tact. I cross that bridge maybe twice a week. It is uneven with the road (2 lane one direction) and we have all felt that little ass wiggle when hitting them.

Tragic.

So hard to make a Bronco even with a cage safe. Your head beats against the cage hoop or hits the side of the hardtop where the window goes up and down and the head injuries take you out.

Local guy here years ago rolled his Jeep several times and he died from hitting his head (there were marks) against the CB radio attached to the cage.

Sorry to hear about this.
