Abstract:
1. A net structure for attachment to a roll cage of a vehicle, the net structure comprising: a mesh structure; a reinforcement structure attached to the mesh structure, each of the mesh structure and the reinforcement structure being flexible; means for attaching the net structure to a roll cage of a vehicle, the means for attaching the net structure being attached to the reinforcement structure; and an overload indicator associated with the means for attaching the net structure; wherein the overload indicator is at least substantially entirely obscured from view by at least one of the reinforcement structure and the means for attaching the net structure, until such time that a tensile force, which is equal to or greater than a predetermined tensile force, is applied to the means for attaching the net structure wherein at least a portion of the means for attaching the net structure separates from the reinforcement structure such that at least a portion of the overload indicator is visible and indicates that the structural integrity of the net structure has been compromised.
