Rollover and Roof Crush Discussion
Auto crashes are a fact of modern life. Car-to-car crashes are especially affected by weight and size differentials between vehicles, and produce a complex set of interactive factors. In the case of a rollover, the situation is different; it’s simply a matter of the rolling vehicle and the ground; meaning the weight of the rolling vehicle and its structural integrity are involved. That’s why, in my opinion, it’s easier to prove roof defects by design and testing; that’s if the test results are ever made public. With that in mind, it’s crucial for all auto manufacturers to provide test results whenever ordered by a court of law. Any attempt to withhold, destroy or modify test documents is illegal and immoral. The temptation to cover up a flawed roof design may play well as a legal tactic to protect corporate assets, but never justifiable. A company’s reputation and integrity are equally valuable.
Regardless of the author’s motive, the article is well-written and discusses many topics that are not often explored in the mainstream media.
