Test of the BMW Roll Over Protection System (ROPS)

This is a test of the "Überroll-Schutzsystem" on a 2001 BMW 330Ci Convertible. it's quite amazing. It is released via magnetic energization when the vehicle exhibits a possible rollover situation.

how do i remove the headrest when the top is on and the rollover protection was activated?

[mw717]

@99elyzabeth Bring it to the top position, and pull up HARD. if your car is older, or sat in the sun a lot, you may break the plastic holder.

How did you trigger the bars to go up?

[mw717]

@dustinman00 You can do it manually or using a tester.

[newcomer9747]

what if you catapult out of the seat during the impact of certain crash orientation?

If you leave the headrests on, and the bars pop up, do the headrests fly off, or stay on?
