Jeep gladiator roll over

[Rex3rd]

Very sad photos to share. I don't know what I'd do if I was the owner

Sucks but not the end of the world I guess.

Eh, it'll probably buff out

Just take pics from the right side from now on

Is that one of the SEMA trucks?
I wonder how this happened.

 

[spazzyfry123]

I’d just keep trucking on! Looks like a good time.

Looks more like a flop than a rollover.

Adds to the thrill when you see what can happen, but nice to know the roll cage works as advertised.

I can fix this, my dads a T.V. repairman,

he's got an awesome set of tools.

It’s just a flesh wound...

Speed kills. No way he could roll that thing without excessive speed, especially with the outward stance of the tires. Go slow; no roll.

Results of trying to rewrite the laws of physics and failing miserably.

I'm an amputee and a huge Monty Python fan and I'm currently looking for a tattoo artist to tattoo the black night hopping on one leg with "Just a flesh wound" under it.

When gravity invokes it's superior authority it doesn't matter how fast you're going.

Plenty easy enough to get something with a high center of gravity far enough off camber to flop over at a crawl.

All of the roll-overs I have observed live or otherwise weren’t caused by gravity. Almost all of them were caused by an energetic event which caused one or both tires on one side of the vehicle to be rapidly elevated—generally when the tire(s) contacted something with a slope somewhat vertical. The velocity at which the tires were elevated is proportional to the horizontal velocity of the vehicle. Moreover, the energy of the upward one-side thrust--causing the roll-over--is proportional to the square of the velocity of the vehicle. I assume that some people have rolled while just driving slowly on too steep of a side slope, but I haven’t ever seen that. It’s usually when someone guns the vehicle before hitting an obstacle or steep slope.
