Default XJ rollover protection

Sorry for non techie post but a little humor. My beautiful sweetheart had a horrendous rollover accident at 70 MPH...Landie ended up upside down on roof..but she walked away. Angels do exist!!!

So from now on she insists on rollover protection on my car 😊

Have a great wknd wherever you are in the world!! And give a loved one an unexpectrd hug and kiss...it could be gone tomorrow 😥
Randy

Damn, hope the kid recovers from that. Looks like he must have been cruising pretty fast to land that hard and get Nox Vidmate VLC ejected.

Makes me wonder about where the centre of gravity is of 4x4's compared to normal saloons/sedans.

ie are they more susceptible to rollovers?

Angry Trees are the current worry. Should work fine.

Where did you see anything about anyone being ejected?

Think you have the Vaden Plas rollover protection there. Doesn't your model take queen size? But glad everyone is ok. Looks like the roof held up pretty well.
