Glad no one was hurt, that looks really bad.

"...someone who knows how to weld and then actually using metal for a cage...."

And doing some engineering both on the design and the mounting (the best money you can spend).
I've seen that happen just too many times.

I'm also aware of a certain 3X nose over tail (of course, the proper vernacular is "ass over tin cup"), and the guys walked away... not necessarily in a straight line, and mostly blind because of the probable 100+G's, but walked away none the less (good cage design and apparently the luck of a Viking-Scot heritage).

or
Save some money on paint, bolt-on horsepower, racer lookin' stuff do-dads... but never on structure, brakes or safety equipment.
