There are many things you can do to improve your safety whilst travelling through extreme environments. You can take with you various means of communication, an extensive first aid kit, water purification equipment, etc.

The item at the top of our list of safety equipment to be fitted to your vehicle is a roll cage. You will be driving for extended periods of times on poorly surfaced roads, in a heavily loaded vehicle and, most of the time, in countries with poor vehicle safety records.
​
A roll cage is something that you pray will never be needed, but in the event of an accident you will be glad you had one.

Below shows the importance of a roll bar.

“The roll bars saved my life – the roof above the passenger seat took the brunt off the impact – and was crushed a bit even with the roll bar. Without the roll bar the unimaginable would have happened. ”
