They are already wearing

a) high-viz

b) helmets

c) harnesses

There's a point where slapping more and more protective gear doesn't provide more safety.

If you don't attach the harnesses to something, you get OSHA cosplay and not OSHA...

Even if they attached a tether to their harnesses, would that satisfy you?

NO.

Some reading says it's a seasonal testosterone rush that doesn't match estrus cycles, so it's not necessarily part of rut. And they'll fight plenty of lady elephants too. It's hard to study cause they just fight everyone.

Some kind of fuel or oil. Seems thicker than diesel, but the most info I can find is that the truck is a fuel truck. Every new article just calls it a mysterious fluid.

If I remember correctly, prior to the crash there was a lot of poo poo talking going on in communities about the designer of that rollcage and that he cuts corners or something.

Seems that you're remembering correctly.

So, I'm a four time Pikes Peak crew chief and in charge of car/bike prep for my team. I build time trial, road racing and rally cars, both modern and vintage. I run service crew for a rally team. And my day job is building and tuning performance suspensions.

Those are my screen grabs that have been linked to here and my pics of the smashed helmet. I saw the wrecked car in person after the accident. I've saw the inside and outside oncar footage the Monday evening after the event at a gas station in the middle of New Mexico when the owner of the smashed EVO broke out a laptop during a gas stop while we caravanned back to Texas.

The current "Time Attack" cage rules came from Formula Drift. And a cage built to the minimum rule set, like the one in the Millen car, is woefully inadequate. The Evolution Dynamics car (Foley's car) was built to an outdated NASA Time Trial spec. It's got a few more bars than the minimum, and larger sizes, but it's still not enough. Specifically it should have a second diagonal in the main hoop, a second diagonal in the roof, a 253-13 FIA bar in the A-pillar, a diagonal from the main hoop to above the door and a door X-bar that is much taller and better protects the occupants from intrusion. Pikes Peak should be run with a rally style cage as the accidents most closely resemble rally accidents.

That aside, the driver of that car caused that accident and he was warned about his over-the-top driving style multiple times by both last year's champion and I. He's got a few years of autocross experience and some minor success at it. But he doesn't have any real time trial, endurance or rally experience. He's never had to focus on driving for more than one minute at a time. Additionally, the car builder was admonished by other competitors in his online build thread for both their insufficient cage and their arrogant attitude.

Yeah, it's really confusing because it looks so calm and inquisitive and then it turns it's head and you see the secretions and think "oh gently caress"

Dunno about that

Wikipedia posted:

The elephant's aggression may be partially caused by a reaction to the temporin, which naturally trickles down into the elephant's mouth, and (at least to a human) has a foul taste.

Although does indicate that someone had the same idea

That quote is from after the crash, and mentions the driver's helmet breaking apart. A cage that did it's job shouldn't let you hit your head hard enough to break your helmet. I googled the crash and you can also see that the cage collapsed in several places. That driver is as lucky as a guy who gets thrown through their windshield and walks away instead of exploding like a waterballoon.
