Question on reconstructing a roll over crash

[xman2820]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and have a question on roll over crashes. For what it's worth I'm certified through IPTM as a reconstructionist, but have never reconstructed a roll over. Also, I am a newer reconstructionist as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction on roll overs, i.e. are there known tables on drag factors, are there specific classes for them, anything to point me in the right direction on how to work it (assuming it can be). It's a head on left turn as well, skids to impact and then rolls/flips to FR. Thank you.

Here's a couple of links to information on various rollover reconstruction methods

• References on Rollover speed versus the number of rotations?
• Rollover Analysis: minimum speeds and roll velocity approximation

more recently there have been a few rollover related papers and i'll use your question to add some more references to those threads.
