The new Fury windscreen uses laminated stretched acrylic provided by Triumph Aerospace, this transparency is capable of withstanding 500mph bird strike as compared to 350 mph for polycarbonate

Are canopies multi-layered like bullet proof glass or car windshields so it can absorb impact or of if/when the break they don't shatter?

Either way I think the general publics acknowledgement of safety is a good thing
If it helps save someones life and you never know whos knowledge from work experience in another field may help contribute to the next great safety innovation
Open dialog is a good thing as long as its respectful
Just my opinion

Hans should be mandatory whenever helmets are required.
I recently crashed my car at 182 mph-guardrail hit, thankfully the hans did its job no neck injuries. There was fire in the car also I had no problem getting out with the added hardware.

I've been reading this post since the crash.....their are some good points and their are a lot of NO KNOWLEGE opinions.
1. Our canopy is multi-laminated, this design would not work with a roll bar.....the roll bar would make the canopy to rigid (like glass). It was made to flex.
2. The canopy flexed during the high speed impact and then eventually broke....the point is, it did take the initial impact,
THAT IS WHAT SAVED OUR LIVES.
Most people have no idea of the amount of pressure water has during a 115mph stuff
3. Could safety be improved? THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENT.
4. Will we learn from this accident? We'd be idiots not to build a better mouse trap here.
5. I was in the boat....DANNY and I LIVED, without to much injury......The boat and canopy did their job, for this type of accident.
END OF STORY
MikeyFIN...thanks for the backup
