Holy crap! That makes me sad.....

[Breez]

Those cool roll bars totally worked!!! Awesome.

My close friend has a 2004 NBC, and I have always felt very safe in it.

(But please remember, buckling up is a big MUST)

[digitalputty]

That poor bug!

[Lil' Blue Bug]

Ouch! Now thats what I call a "Flippin" fantastic vert!Hope the people and the Bug are okay.

[Bichondi]

That looked like a great ride!!!!

Those roll bars really did their job, The NB is a really safe car

[kcfoxie]

it lost a head light!

[MedfordBumbleBee]

Look on the bright side.. what a great story to tell if that happens to you!

Looks like the car held up as designed. Just remember to duck if you roll your vert.

btw... hope my clients with verts don't roll their cars, I don't need any more losses. I own an insurance agency... lol

LOL- so thats how you remove the headlights... we had such issues getting that housing out to change the bulb :smirk:

[Tommy]

only strange thing is that all passangers put their hands up, just like they are on fun fair

[dunno513]

For that test they had to improvise to get that thing to fly like that. I guess its manditory that they perform a rollover test on verts. (rear head protectors work)

The sedan couldn't be budged off of all 4 wheels during the test, so I wouldn't worry about rolling it unless you find a ditch, or large curb to assist.

[Deserion]

Crash test dummies like to have fun, too.

And yes, I'd still own one... wait, I do.

[Fowvay]

Heck yes I would still own a vert... it did great.

[Whitacre]

That was awesome. I feel very safe in any new beetle i ride in or drive, including the vert. It seems like you would have to try pretty hard to flip those cars though, they hug the road well. Too bad the video doesnt have sound though

And this is how it looks at the end of the rolling:

vor verts that's the way to do it, for sedan instead you do it this way:

Good we know now

[squeebug]

I've seen another version of this video and they have this launcher thing that chucks the bug into the test area. It looks like the easiest way to get the headlight out is to either roll it or smash it into something

[Mister]

Hey! No trill... No fun!
No joke, I feel very safe in my vert
