Oh lighten up.......what could possibly go wrong with that!!!!!?????!!!!!!
I like the obligatory redneck pregnant chick, watching from the sidelines. It just ain't redneck if there ain't no one knocked up!!!!!
Whhhhooooooo (nice). Fuck me.

It looks to me like they are pretty finely balanced, with just the front bumper of the car stopping it from going over completely, and even then it seems to get darn close. If they went to all that trouble to construct the thing, I would suggest they extend a brace forward to completely prevent the possibility of a rollover.
Interesting calculations and notice the low speed to prevent flipping the car.
As suggested in a previous post add a brace to prevent roll over.
Bad idea, a brace would cause too fast a stop and likely jam the spines of the riders.

Perhaps a brace combined with some shock absorbers or springs? Given the way they were flopping around when the car dropped back to 4 wheels it doesn't seem like spinal/neck injury prevention was high on the list anyways.
It's odd that the front end doesn't get smashed up every time he stops. The front bumper seems to hit the ground pretty hard every time and yet no damage.
Wonder what the roll characteristics would be if he went into wild turns.
The height and weight of everything up there would likely tip it over pretty easily. Pretty interesting physics at work there.

No, the brace would not actually kick in until the angle EXCEEDED the current stopping point.
you would need a piece of curved metal to provide give and prevent it from flipping

No, you wouldn't, just a piece of straight steel would do fine, running from the ramp behind their seats, attached to the vetical support, extending past to strike the ground AFTER they had exceeded their current stopping point. Two pieces of straight steel needed, one for each pillar, The 'give' would occur naturally, as even with this brace, once it had been struck, there would be exactly the same kind of rocking motion as currently exits.
