Some of the video is stunning. Vehicles that did well under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s test for roof strength didn’t do so well when the cars were actually subjected to a real-world rollover and the kind of crash forces they would experience tumbling across pavement. The crash-test dummies inside most of the vehicles didn’t do so well, either.
Public Citizen, the Center for Auto Safety and the Center for Injury Research, released video today that shows how six models of vehicles stood up to a rollover test that the government refuses to adopt for whatever reason the government refuses to take up common sense measures.
