I suppose in a crash the shock could hit a thin object like a track barrier (from the top)... but isn't that the case with all buggies? When hit awkward enough, they break.
I like the narrow layout, it looks nice and so do those bulkheads running down the length of the car. I can imagine though that like the 2WD Vega, if you break something, it's either cheap or set you back a lot with those bulkheads. Then again, the construction seems fit to drive through walls!
It sure is not a Predator, but it's beyond me why they'd name it after something that only eats plant life
