<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper reviews the development and demonstration of a procedure for a rollover test to be conducted without the use of a ramp or rollover cart and also demonstrates the kinematics of an unrestrained far side occupant during the rollover sequence.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">A full-size car was pulled sideways into an energy absorbing barrier causing the car to roll 180 degrees and yaw 360 degrees.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The test demonstrated that in an event of this type and severity, the injury can occur prior to ejection and that there is no correlation between roof crush and injury.</div>
