I'll bet the emergency services were on the scene a lot quicker than they would have been if the crash had been on a nice deserted twisty back road though. Just hope the guy recovers.

I too hope that everyone makes a speed recovery.
lucky he had a helmet on and harnesses, could of been worse otherwise
I hate to say it but it is probably because the person had a harness on that they broke their neck 
If you think about it, in a roll situation like this, the passenger (in this case) is strapped upright to their seat, so when the roof collapses, there is nowhere for their body to roll to lessen the impact to the head
Harnesses should only be used in conjunction with roll-cages.

& roll cages should only be used with harnesses.
1 of the reason Insurance Companies dont like roll cages is they can cause as much injuries as the smash itself if the person hit a bar.
bad accident from the looks of it
