Deadliest Crash: UVA Takes Hard Look at Rollovers

University of Virginia researchers at the Center for Applied Biomechanics are developing a dynamic rollover crash test and improving crash dummies in an effort to improve on current approaches to rollover safety ratings.

I just survived a roll over crash yesterday. Luckily, I was wearing a seat belt 😩

Me and my grandma were in a severe rollover crash when I was 7 and she had just turned 50 unfortunately she did not make it, I was very very lucky and I didn’t get seriously injured because I sat in the back and in the middle in a booster seat, I was in the hospital overnight with a concussion and a scratch from my seatbelt, my grandma was ejected and hit by an oncoming vehicle, always wear your seatbelt you never know what could happen

I survived a rollover accident, slid into a deep ditch and my tires caught and rolled me over. Was perfectly fine but was sore. Yesterday witnessed someone roll 1.5 times and was airborne, expecting this person to be hurt or unconscious, all they had was a scratch on her hand

I was involved in a roll over which the car rolled down a 9 feet tall hill and I survived.

How about design rollover labs on hills. Just roll them down the hill

It’s good to see that people are taking things and making them better.
A thumbs up to y’all

I mean... or you could just roll cars over to test them... like EuroNCAP and every other vehicle safety centre in the world.

Look at what SAAB did with their cars... Their roofs could stand up to rollover crashes much better than even today's newest cars. One of the reasons they were so expensive, went bust and why GM got rid of them.

Can’t cars just have roof airbags? Sure it would cost more but it would be useful
