Roof Crush

San Diego Roof Crush Injuries

One of the most controversial current topics in motor vehicle safety design and regulation concerns the obligation of a car manufacturer to protect against the risk of severe injury in a rollover accident resulting in roof crush or collapse. The auto industry and consumer protection groups are meanwhile engaged in a long battle to shape the specifics of proposed new regulations.

There is little doubt that the current standard for motor vehicle roof strength is inadequate. About a fourth of all traffic fatalities are caused by roof crush in rollover accidents, and many of these are caused by the ejection of the driver or passenger due to the total failure of door, windshield and seatbelt systems upon collapse of the roof.
