In 1982 nine thousand fatalities occurred from accidents in which motor vehicles rolled over. Despite this number of fatalities, little information exists about occupant dynamics during rollover. Most of the information presented in this paper is derived from full-scale crash tests to evaluate highway appurtenances, such as guardrails, during which the vehicle rolled over. In some of these tests, high-speed, on-board cameras recorded dummy motion. These films show the violence of the occupant's motion during rollover. Analysis of the films established which body segments of the dummy occupant impacted the various parts of the vehicle's interior. Dummy impact velocities and ejection have also been studied.
