It`s Me again ,
                       I was not suggesting that being thrown out was safer
than staying with a "safe" vehicle , merely that to be trapped in a poorly
designed cage could increase the hazard !
The best that most Commercials manage is to fall on there sides , seldom do
they invert , their Cof G is too low and sides too high.

Your best bet is a good TIGHT seat belt , full harness if you wish .

Firstly identify the Hazard .
Second ,what is the Risk of the Hazard causing danger .
IF the risk factor is low , go back to sleep , you have carried out your
risk assessment , you are reasonably Safe .

PS
REF risk assessment , a guy dies of CO poisoning in an electrically heated
house , HOW ?{this is not a joke , the claim failed in court as the judge
deemed the risk factor so low because the hazard could not have been
foreseen }
