RRC rollover video

Look around 105. The gas door is clearly open. I maintain that all of the rollovers are caused by an open gas door.
Imagine if "Julian" didn't swerve and just rear ended the bimmer.

I am glad I didn't try to swerve to avoid hitting that mammoth deer I hit.

i think that jagoff should have steered it better there was no one to his right so why the hell did he cut it back? I'm starting to thinking this was staged.
Yea, I noticed that too.
Also I assume you would slam on your brakes instinctively before you turn.
Thats the BBC for you, them and all their propaganda!

I wouldn't even try to yank my steering wheel in this situation.
The LWB would likely have stopped three feet short of the car ahead if I slammed on brakes, the Disco would happily ride up its bumper.
... my Wagoneer would make it all the way to the rear seat.

I agree, after the initial swerve he torqued the wheel over hard hand over hand to correct and did not even make an attempt to recorrect again. Can't say what anyone would do in a panic situation, but his moves seemed intentionally exaggerated.

it's WAY obvious that his intentions were to roll that truck from the beginning...
LOL, EJB90!
Funny, I've had to swerve like that with a high center-of-gravity, jacked up suspension, no ABS, and M/T's & didn't flip. That's fine... other suckers can think that RRC's suck, while we buy them up, enjoy them, and keep them on the road.

Atually it's quite common for people to swerve to avoid something, freak out, and over correct. That's why dropping off on to a low shoulder causes accidents, the wheel drops, the person freaks out and jerks the wheel the other direction and the car goes out of control.disco_fever said:
This video pretty well simulated swerving and then back to to avoid something else in your path, like maybe a bridge pylon. Or just what people typically do.
If you maintain your cool when things happen odds are you'll come out fine. I know it has for me a number of times.
The moral of the story for this video? Maintain proper following distance.
