I believe, and from my experience with actually going to the IIHS and working there, that the Volvo C70 is the most safest convertible in the world. The roll bars pop up about 15 inches and the seat belt fastens and holds you down when it detects any type of crash ... Volvo makes some of the most safest cars in the world and they have saved lives of millions.
You know what's better than being safe in a car crash? Having a car that's agile and balanced properly so that you can avoid the crash. And that's why I drive a Peugeot over any other car.
Congrats, they created a Hollywood style crash as a pathetic way to prove a point, NO CAR WILL HIT A FUCKING RAMP LIKE THEY DID, they used no method as they showed with a model car as to how cars roll over.
Colt Fox I don't know if you noticed but the end of guardrails have a large box on the end that tapers thinner in the direction of traffic... Also I would love to see this statistic proving these fatalities being caused by guardrails. Vehicles roll over by striking something, being flipped by another vehicle, clipping the kerb and trying to react to that.
Colt Fox So you're from the U.S. Well as shown from the video this is a U.K. based show, where they're showing vehicle from the U.K. Guardrails here have an end cap and even if they're angled and didn't have an end cap the rail collapses under the weight of most modern vehicles (1990+) In the U.S. the people that have died from rollovers aren't caused by the rails, they're caused by the deep verges on either side, there it is common for a vehicle to roll but still not to the extent as shown in the video, nobody is going to hit a ramp that is designed to flip a car on the public roads...
Colt Fox Oh yes, I don't doubt they can flip a vehicle but the thing is as you said, it may not be as dramatic. The thing is that when it unfortunately does happen in real life, the object is never going to be designed to flip a vehicle. As a result of that, vehicle will not achieve the same height as the vehicle did in the video.
Toss pot car show . Do the test with a porch beatle with the hoops that jump up .itl be fkt just the same . Are thay saying the ppl in a bm soft top or a enything soft top . Will be fine , bullshit .
@jhhilton yeah i totally agree with that.. i have a 2 litre one, it's slightly wider, longer wheel base, thicker tyres and hold the road very well indeed.. i have also never come close to rolling it.. and yes i have at times driven it like it's a rally car (which btw it is good for.. gotta love those italians at Pinin Farina)... but the simple lesson is.. don't drive like a twat and don't panic with sharp steering if the worst happens. I think alot of the time it is..know thy car!
You misunderstand me. I'm saying, can't the Brits get through one show without talking about Americans and then I go on to list the things they say. You assume I'm British, but I'm not. I'm an American.
the video is fail!! that crash kills everybody with any cars.only with a rally car maybe you live after this crash. the crash with 306 is not a rollover. rollover is with 207cc!! here they melt peugeot 306 with a big jump,and wondering if you will survive?? after that?? hahahahaha! after this crash dude with the beard nobody survives even with a battle tank!!
That was freaking realistic...
theyre trying to make it roll, not suggesting that there's gonna be a ramp in the middle of the road.
Where was the rollover? I saw a car flying but not exactly a rollover is it?
0:08 - Hurrayyy!!

It is not a rollover. It s a jump!! Try to do this with 206cc - same thing will happen!
That's not a roll over test, the 306 flew!!!!!
DAMN!. Dont flip that car.. WOW.
When auto motor und sport crashtested convertibles back in the 90s like that, the best one was the VW Golf III with it's ugly rollover bar.
If Ray Charles had seen this video he would have thought twice.
I'm really glad I don't drive a convertible right now! lol
1:23 no tom, we do rollover tests because we care about human lives and are much better at regulating
im 22 and i have one of these for my first car
