Mandatory ... why?

It appears they had a roll-cage, it appears they had decent seatbelts, it
appears no-one got hurt, so why make it mandatory for helmets to be worn?

Why introduce yet more legislation in a knee-jerk reaction to an accident
type that few of us, in reality, will ever see?

I have no problems with people wearing helmets, indeed I often do, it's a
free choice after all, but to legislate for it is a ludicrous suggestion and
only allows further scope for even tighter legislation that will eventually
push us away from 'dangerous sports/activities' and back home where we can
be safe. There are more serious accidents in the home than there are
off-roading, are you advocating helmets to be made mandatory to wear inside
a house?

Presumably thats made form lots of different photos? (as its an
animated GIF file not a video). I like the big pause due to multiple
photos from different angles as it sits there just about to topple!

Surprisingly little damage to the vehicle, considering. Good to see
the rollcage holding up, i've always had my doubts about those
half-cages people fit to hard tops, but it seems to be just as strong
