    But…what does it do? Do you sit in it?

    If you ever are in a rollover try to keep a hold of the bottom of the steering wheel. It will drastically limit the potential of injury to your arms

    Here’s this particular unit in action:

    Years ago when I worked in TV news, I was sent out to cover one of these things in Florida. It was spectacular. They belted in an adult dummy but left the child dummy unbelted. The kid flew straight up in the air, came back down and bounced on the truck twice before being hurled away.

    On another run they just had an unbelted adult in there, and it somehow got hung up so that he was hanging halfway out of the truck, slamming against the ground with each roll before finally coming loose and flying away.

    Then they belted in the dummies and showed us how boring that is. Nobody flew away. But after seeing the kid go flying, everybody was okay with that.

    Those are very cool, had to go into one of those when I took my driver test, had to unbuckle and get out of the car while it was upside down. Why though, didnt they use a foor door vehicle? More people can try at once.
