Virtually all real-world rollover accidents involve the wheels being tripped by a curb or other obstruction. You've obviously not watched any good documentary on the subject. Police car chases in Los Angeles almost always involve some spectacular roll over. British spies are almost always involved in some form of car chase which involves some roll over. Heck, in a recent documentary about british spies, the spy was in a fancy sports car (aston martin if I recall correctly) on smooth ICE in iceland and the car flipped and slid for a while on its roof, until the spy pressed the "eject passenger seat" button which causes the case to bounce back into right side up condition, showing just how easy it is for a car to flip. It is possible that there might be something special about gravity in the Los Angeles area that makes it much easier for cars to flip over. I haven't personally witnessed any such accidents where I live (except in documentaries at the he movie theatre or TV). No doubt you have purchased an option of some future "Ocean Front Property" from AC to park your "Flying Donkeys". Ralph Nesbitt Professional FD/CFR/ARFF Type |
