“My brother was killed while operating his Polaris Slingshot. The vehicle frame offered absolutely no side impact protection. The bars welded on the outboard side of the vehicle were crushed flat, torn, and several welds had separated. One of the bars was even pushed to the center of the vehicle and now sits near the shifter. It was discovered that the bars measured a mere .059 thousandths of an inch thick. For comparison, a chevy silverado exhaust pipe measures .079 thousandths of an inch thick, 30% thicker. …”
