Thought some of you may find this interesting, it is pretty scary what can happen so fast sometimes.

That's pretty crazy, i don't think my truck can even do a burn out so i don't think i will have that issue.

What a goofball. "Did I plow a tire?" Nope, but you did kill your truck.

The lack of rollover protection in trucks is appalling. And tucks aren't getting any lighter these days either. I found this clip to be funny as hell, but the one I saw wasn't funny. 2004 dodge crewcab. I got there minutes after it happened and the driver was already dead. The front of the roof had met the dash and the rear had compressed to half the normal height. But since airbags and crumple zones are cheaper than a proper cab structure, thats not going to change anytime soon.

No official cause was ever released, but he probably fell asleep at the wheel.

***? I don't think I could do that if I tried!

i saw a video on tv the other day of a newer 4 door dodge pulling a camper under a gas station roof, it hits it and it collapses on the truck, as it's hitting it, it appears the roof of the dodge flattens right out....***? i'll keep my old iron.

I ran across a late model explorer in a boneyard a while back that had rolled and after seeing the insides, it called for a moment of silence. Nobody came out of that thing alive. These soccer moms are supposedly buying those monstrosities for *safety*, I've got a news flash, the roof on that thing folded up like tin foil. It was crushed down to the seat bases and there were no signs of it having rolled more than once and the scuffs indicated a low speed roll.

thats why there are some trying to pass stricter standards for roll over protection..... supposedly, the same standard has been in place since the 50/60's.

I'll keep the wifey and kids an a VW passat.
The vehicles on an explorer may be heavier, but that requires more cab structure from above if it rolls.

EXACTLY!!!!

Now imagine a 9000lb diesel F450 superduty and it gets to be a nasty picture....

I bet he had no idea the height of his camper or truck. Experience is a wonderful thing, and he got his all in one shot.

Like I was told once....Stupid People Should"nt Breath...that driver clearly falls into the aforementioned category.

Ya lack of decent Roll over protection is common in trucks, having seen plenty in the wreckers, I really want a decent Exo Cage on my truck!
