Would this be strong enough to prevent a 50lb dog from flying through it in the event of an accident?

i would think it all depends on how well you attach it and how what car you drive. When i had it, i put it in my suv and it fit perfectly but there is the space above and if you end up rolling your vehicle, that won't prevent him from flying over it. I don't use it anymore since i drive a VW bug now and its not needed. Want to buy mine?, lol

The net itself is, you would need to change from the supplied bungee cord to ones a little bigger.

It probably depends upon how fast you drive, whether or not the car flips over and how quickly your stopped. For real dog safety, check reviews on dog seat belts. Don't rely solely on this product.

No, but neither is your windshield for that matter. It's just fairly strong mesh - kind of like those collapsible laundry hampers, but stronger.

yes' it attaches to the back of the front seat so if you hit your brakes you don't have to worry about your dog being thrown to the floor. we have a golden retriever that's about 85 pounds and a jack Russell that's about 35 pounds

Yes it can very easily, It can hold at least 40 lbs but clamp or tie it down so it doesn't come off by accident as it is a removeable one and just sits on a bracket that hangs off the handlebars and is velcroed to the bike post. I don't see it coming off but to be safe secure it down like I did (mine doesn't budge now) anything can happen and if you want to put your dog in it you might want to make it more comfortable by putting a towel or something on the bottom of it which is not nessary to do but will be very nice of you to do.

It would not work well as a dog barrier. Even when stretched out, the net is somewhat stretchy and very flexible. You would want something a little more solid for your dog's safety.

It's decently strong. It's velcro so no matter what, with a set amount of give it will open, but it's fairly strong and positioned in a way to help prevent unwanted puppy escapes.

Definitely. It could withstand anything except something like a huge drop or being run over by a car.

Yes.........But it not quite sturdy enough. I have average size bird dogs they weigh about 75 pounds and when left alone in the car they went through the barrier simply bending and spreading the ends.

yes it would work we have even use it for big dogs and it supports them jumping up on the sides of it..

My 75 lb lab jumped out of the back seat when we opened the door and it barely resisted. The stitching in the strap came undone. I still think it would help slow down momentum in a car accident but it will not completely restrain them.

It is kind of flimsy. Maybe for a small dog. My dogs are 45-50 lbs and it did not work well for them!

It has not been tested by me and I don't know how many pounds of force this can withstand. I'm a strong 210lbs and it would take some time and hard work with much damage to me and the door to get through. I'm very happy with this item.

I don't think is strong enough to hold a dog that large. Look at a large wire kennel cage.Dan

Yes very sturdy and strong..warning could be quite dangerous if a person were hit

Depends on the size of the cage, but likely it would be strong enough. If you went over a large bump or had to stop/turn abruptly though I'm not sure. You probably be better off using a strap of some sort.

Don't think it is sturdy enough to withstand kids or dogs running into it. Mine is in a corner but still would be concerned if could get knocked over if run into.

I believe so. this is hard to quantify but i think it would do the job. You're sure to have collisions of some sort eventually so i would consider some kind of back-up restraint so it doesn't fly off completely. Maybe string or zip-ties?

This isn't super strong. my dog is big but pretty calm. he's never tried to get out.
