As noted in that thread, this is also why you should always invest in a full face helmet. Notice the flying glass? Yeah, that wouldn't feel so good in your face.

New setup, he crashed after 4 laps with:

Must have just pulled right through the CF trunk :(

*edit* ahh, it must have bent sideways, and snapped off from the sideways force. This wing above the roof is a good setup, but def need some sort of cross bracing on it! Triangles are strong, squares deform.
