Information I posted after the 2015 Moab trip:
I don't recall this topic being covered in this thread, so if it is a duplicate, forgive me.
Gary educated us on a couple of safety factors to consider after a rollover:
1) as the occupant of the rolled vehicle, you should not attempt to immediately undo your seatbelt/harness. In fact, you should wait for other wheelers to come to your rescue before attempting to get out of the situation. The reason is that the vehicle may not be stable and either your movement or the vehicles position may put you in a more dangerous position. Obviously there could be exceptions, such as the vehicle being on fire, but in general, wait for help.
2) safety harnesses are superior to factory seat belts, especially if after being right-sided your vehicle is positioned in a manner where the seat belt cannot be buckled again. In Gary's case, he rolled on an obstacle, was right-sided, and then he decided to attempt the obstacle again; however, he was in a position where he couldn't fasten the factory belt and then he rolled again. Yep, not smart to attempt to continue without the belt being fastened, but a situation can be envisioned where even getting off an obstacle could present a perilous situation.
