The "Minimalist Cage Designs" thread inspired me to create this thread. There were a few good cage failure threads on pirate and I always though they were quite interesting/eye opening. I am hoping this can become a sticky thread since this is an important topic and I think there is quite a lot to be learned from failures and actual data points.
Fortunately, I don't have anything to personally contribute, but I hope others can. This is not intended to be a "what do you think of my cage design?" or "If you build your cage out of poop pipe you're going to die!!!" thread.
I am hoping people can post pictures of their cages after significant rollovers, whether or not they held up, and provide details of the rollover and design of the cage (diameter, wall thickness, material, etc.). Then we can all speculate on why the cage held up[ or not, and use these data points to improve future designs or establish what is "good enough".
