Chevy Tahoe (2007) - JRS Test

Here is a Jordan Rollover System (JRS) test on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe to measure the roof strength. This Video Contains both roll 1 and roll 2 of the same vehicle to simulate the actual event of a rollover (rollover accidents usually involve more than one roll). As you will see the A and B pillar both undergo significant roof crush.

WHY IN THE FUCK THESE SUV'S AREN'T EQUIPPED WITH ROLL CAGES INSIDE THE A-PILLARS, AND ABOVE THE ROOF???? I HOPE THIS TEST DON'T PASS, this test receives no stars out of 5. Look at the weak pillars and roof, they're folding like a piece of paper. The first roll over my neck would've been broken severely, second roll over I'm dead. As much as I love Tahoes. I'm updating my Tahoe with roll cages, inside the A-pillars, and I'm never speeding on curve lanes with an SUV.

i think this test is kinda screwed, when you roll a vehicle for the most part it doesnt just hit on the one corner the hardest, usually you slam on the side, then roll over the roof, this test just shows a corner of the roof getting beat on, for those who think cause of this vid GM vehicles are shit, well then maybe you should go see the exact same tests with what ever ones you rather be in,

this is why there is crash tests and this kinda shit, to sort out the bugs before we get it in our hands.

Problem with Tahoe and Suburban sized vehicles is you can't use the stuff they put into Subarus or Volvos. It would cost $100k instead of $60k. But they should at least use the stuff in the A piller so it doesn't cave in so bad. It doesn't take as much stuff to protect car passengers, as it does trucks. But trucks need it a lot more. If a tire blows, you have 99% chance of a rollover. If you swerve badly on the highway, its a rollover and usually a deadly one.

i like how that guy ran back. I don't think the car was going to blow up in 100 pieces.

@AAmatt777 Not my cup of coffee. Thanks for the suggestion though, I got a 2009 Nissan Maxima SV sport.

airbags don't help if the structures of the vehicle crush. Look at how the dummy's head gets jammed down. That's a fatality. Only thing that helps is reinforcing the roof during manufacture. There's supposed to be a government regulation coming soon, that requires SUVs to support 2 or 3x their own weight in a rollover. So that would help with new vehicles.

I have to say, these car aren't safe. My friend rolled her 08 and the roof crushed FLAT to the seats. Sad thing, it rolled once, and landed on the roof at 30mph! I thought she was dead for sure....

Has this been improved in 2012 Cadillac Escalade? Yes or No?

Body on frame, the body is not the frame, only the frame is strong. Buy a car for safety.
