After head-on collisions, rollovers are the second most dangerous type of crash occurring on our highways. Roof Crush dangers occur primarily during rollovers. When a roof crushes, occupant survival space is compromised. Moreover, roof crush renders the other safety systems ineffective.

The vehicle industry until the late 1960’s built vehicles with strong roofs saved lives. However, manufacturers stopped dynamic roof testing and started finding ways to earn more profit by cutting design corners. The result was more profit but at the expense of consumer safety.

It took almost two decades to debunk this manufacturer strategy but the truth finally came out. Specifically, one of the authors of the Malibu rollover test project admitted that the roof crushed before diving occurred. The plots from the litigation tests were also finally produced. Contrary to the reported results, the actual plot results proved strong roofs improved vehicle safety.

Roof crush danger is a primary violation of vehicle crash worthiness because the survival space must be maintained. When a roof crushes excessively, the other safety systems are rendered useless.
