Great G-numbers yes,but hit something while sliding or pulling G's and watch it start rolling. Look at the right front wheel area:possible impact area?
I've seen many,many roll overs in 28 years of EMS work. Most are caused by collision w/other vehicle, impact to stationary object like a curb or running off the roadway.

That my friends is a HHR SS that has rolled and flipped several times. One time did not do all that.

I think the Bow ties are ok and it is amazing the mirrors were even on the car yet,

While this looks bad I would say it who ever was inside was belted in they came out a little sore but alive. If they were not belted in they could have gone out any of the broken windows. That is something to think about in our little cars that are prone to roll overs.

I have seen a few HHR's flip just because of curbs or a intersection impact. Hit just right it does not take much with a vehicle with a high center of gravity.

Just another reason to lower them as much as you can

Two of the people who witnessed my accident last December when the drunk driver nailed me, said that on the first "spin", Paddy was tipped over enough for them to see the underside, and that all four wheels were off the ground.

I came close to rolling, too close for comfort, had he not hit me almost dead center in left rear wheel...the spin would have probably ended up with me on the passenger side.

Mr. Drunken Idiot's trial date is in September, I'll be there with my scarred face and buggered up knee, to see him hauled off to prison.

That's a canned message that appears after you select "Used" under the condition. You can't change it. Made me chuckle too though.
