2009 Chevy Malibu - Roll 2

Center for Injury Research conducted a JRS dynamic rollover test consisting of two rolls of a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu on July 9 and 12, 2010.

The test was a two roll event. The planned difference between the rolls was the pitch of the vehicle; 4.2 degrees in Roll 1 and 9.1 degrees in Roll 2 and the position of the Hybrid III dummy. For Roll 1, the dummy was located "out of position;" leaning towards the passenger side approximately 45°. For Roll 2, the dummy was placed in the nominal seating position.

The interesting result of this test is that the Malibu has Laminated Glass in the side windows and they did not break. - One point for Laminated Glass!
