"Bullbars are Bad"

**OTEP** · August 25th, 2003 10:27 PM

Hay nako, lahat na lang nasabi na tungkol sa mga rigs natin. Kesyo hindi enviroment friendly, prone to roll-overs, unsafe, etc.

Ngayon pati ba naman mga bullbars tinitira na? Grabe na ito ha.

Pedestrian Council of Australia

When will our persecution ever end? :confused:

Yan din ang gustong implement dito sa GCC countries, with the same reasons in regards to bullbar..on the other side may points din naman sila

They do have valid reasons. But with the work we use our vehicles for, bullbars are indeed an advantage.

Sa HK bawal na din ang bullbars. Bad trip.

When was the last time you ran over a pedestrian?

Pansin ko lang, Team Poly ata ang nagpopondo ng bullbar hate campaign na ito. Sila kasi nagbebenta ng plastic bullbars. Ngek, nag-bullbar ka pa?

maybe some people run over 2 or 3 pedestrians a year so they need plastic bullbars? :D

kahit naman bumper lang ng sedan nakakapatay eh..

**ghosthunter** · August 25th, 2003 11:47 PM

well, a sedan's bumper would only crack the bones in the legs... the ones on the SUV would cracks the legs, arms, ribs, skull, pelvis, spinal cord, etc.

BAkit di nalang yung bullbar na flexible.. yung paran makapal na rubber.. may nakita ako dati sa Singapore parang ganon kahit na anong lakas ng impact na tiklop lang tapos balik ulit sa dati

Kasi kung flexible ang bullbar, it wouldn't stand up to the stresses of being used as a tow point, a jack point and hindi mo na siya pwede gamitin for its reason for existence which is to sustain vehicle drivability even after impact (i.e. with a structure, stray livestock, small tree, etc.).

And kapag nakasagasa ka naman in an SUV (esp. a lifted one), you will just probably run over the pedestrian and kill him anyways.
