The other was, ironically, a Boxster. Two guys in it, neither had a scratch on them. Car didn't look so great though, went home on a flatbed. The stock roll hoops seemed to do their job. Ironically, this was with our Alfa club.

I was at that event with the surgeon. That was ugly. Arm restraints would have saved that arm.

I'm surprised this is coming up with the Alpha folks. I remember them generally being a bit more flexible with things. This included non instructors being able to have passengers in the car. At least "back in the day". PCA wouldn't allow that.
