The roof of this vehicle would behave the same on pavement.

The JRS was designed to to be able to analyze what would happen on an actual road - when compared to actual crashed vehicles, the damage patterns are similar.

The machine simulates what might happen in the real world, are you willing to risk the life of a loved one...

hey someone give me a thumbs up

[queensny1991]

so remind me what the 5 star crash rating is for again?

the odds are 1 in a million that the roof would get struck in that exact spot

Holy crap! If I didn't know any better, I would of thought the roof was made out of canvas

i rolled a jeep cherokee in january, the road crushed the roof in a hell of a lot more than this

For several years I have been heavily into offroad. And I have a few friends that own salvage yards and body shops. Jeeps are POS. I have owned my share. The Jeep Cherokee XJ in a roll over can pancake the roof into the drivers lap. I have seen it to many times where the entire roof is flattened down crushing all four passengers. They are extremely weak and flimsy in the A and B pillars. They were designed to cut manufacturing costs and the end result is a weak POS.

Actually, the roofs on these things are pretty strong. If they had rolled the vehicle over on pavement instead of on this machine then the outcome would have been very different.
