Another rolled velomobile video

Hi all

Guy had a very lucky escape from this
did a good analysis of cause's of accident.

I had a similar [ but much lower speed ] roll on the Python trike unbeknown to me I had come parallel and within about 1" of a kerb about the height of the rear tyre I tried to turn left over the kerb to get onto the pavement from the road and the trike slowly rolled on it's side and dumped me on the pavement.

Rather embarrassing than injurious , especially when a lady in a passing car stopped to see if I was ok !

That noise before the crash sounded awful to me. Don't know if it sounded as loud to the rider but I'd certainly have stopped with that racket going on or at least slowed to a jogging pace and braced for something to break.

Building light is nice. Building strong is better. Building strong and having easy access to every part of the machine is best. But then I'm old and fat and a coward and not worried about how fast I can go.
