sooo i just got a c-pillar bar and ive noticed its right behind the back passengers head. basicly what im asking is if get in an accident do you think the whiplash is enough to kill someone? ive got a little pading on it but still seem sketch. i dont wanna get charged with manslaughter lol

 

not likely unless they where tall enough for the bar to be in behind there neck instead then it might be possible

 

That c pillar bar will bend before it kills someone.

 

Live people sue. It is not a good idea to have one of those with passengers in the back.

 

ever since i put my c- pillar bar up i dont have ppl sitting in the back anymore. never liked no more then 2 ppl in my car anyways

 

**** yeah..

 

ya that im sure your skull is going to bend an metal bar.. let me no how that goes for you lol.

 

Its verry dangerouse! that is for race/track use and was not intended for people to sit in the back with it installed it can cause seriouse damage to the persons skull, i never let anyone sit with it installed thats why i like my em-racing pillar bar it has a quick reliease making it easy to remove if someone sits in the back seat.

 

The c pillar bars that most people have are hollowed out and easily bend. The human skull is much stronger compared to that and upon impact would definitely bend something that weak. I attend UW and have my double major as Anatomy, you'd be surprised by the strength of the human body and the weakness of an ebay hella Jdm c-pillar bAr DaWG!

 

X2 I would not recommend anyone sitting in the back seat unless it's removable.

 

So your saying in the event of a accedent the person wont get seriously hurt cause its hollowed out and its from ebay! well if so i wont be the case with real ones like my em racing bar there thick and strong!

 

Use common sense. There's a freaking metal bar going across where someone's head is supposed to be, of course you don't want anyone sitting back there. It's thickness doesn't matter, it'll still be like someone cracking you in the back of the head with it.

 

could i smash your double major head with one and you tell me if it hurts? I think that would be less force than a car crash too. you are an idiot, i can't believe you are getting a degree.

 

Just recently I saw a civic equipped with a c-pillar bar with 3 passengers sitting in the back. All three heads lined up like sitting ducks along the metal bar. Can you imagine rear end impact? I just took a big sigh and hoped for the best.

Really, does this need explanation??

 

live people sue and dead people family members sue i have my bar held in with clevis and coder pins kinda like hood pins allows it to be removed in no time at all

 

Just use it as an excuse to keep people out of the back seat, problem solved

 

I would not recommend anyone sitting in the back seat of an Integra....period.

 

i don't think a quick release would be any safer either. i'd hate to think what would happen if anyone would hit their head on the protruding mount in case of any accident.

 

^^ true...my quick release tab sticks out bout an inch or 2 and its pretty dam solid..if someone was to hit me with a passenger in the back theyd be fudged

 

That is true great point!

 

thats true. but it doesnt mean it would give you a concussion.. AND!!!!!! i dont recall saying it was a "ebay hella Jdm c-pillar bAr DaWG!" wtf is a "hella" c-pillar bar? lol.

so do you guys thinks theres a way to turn my fixed one into a quick-release one? or am i just being ridiculous now?? lolzz

 

This thread wasn't about someone getting a booboo from a c pillar bar. It was if someone would get killed.

The answer is no. A c pillar bar alone will not kill someone.

C pillar bars are hollow and built out of thin walled aircraft grade aluminum or thin walled stainless steel.

take out the back seats yo

 

Never in my first post did i say you will not get injured. I said you will not die because of one.

Anyone who took that any differently is an imbecile. Man you guys are tough!

 

Thank you
