Rollover Simulator
Rollover Rover is a truck cab that spins on its own axis at 35 MPH to simulate a rollover crash.
Rollover Rover is available for demonstration at schools attended by students in grades kindergarten through college, and for various safety events.

There is no charge associated with the demonstrations; however, we do have a few limitations. Below is some general information for those hoping to schedule a demonstration:
- Rover requires an area of around 60 X 20 ft. plus additional space for spectators.
|
- Demonstrations can be done outdoors or indoors. However, if the event is scheduled for an outdoor location, it will be cancelled and/or rescheduled due to rain or wet ground conditions if no alternate indoor location is available.
|
- There must be a guaranteed stationary audience of at least 100 people. (Exceptions to this may be made for smaller groups in the immediate Jackson area or demonstrations during the less-busy summer months.)
|
- Demonstrations last approx. 15 to 20 minutes. It takes approx. 10 to 15 minutes to set up Rover before and between sessions. Up to 3 demonstrations can be done per event, preferably with the demonstrations scheduled about 30 minutes apart.
|
- It is recommended that Rover events be scheduled at least a month in advance. However, the simulator is very popular during specific times of the year. So the earlier you call, the better.
|
- Demonstrations can be done for large groups (200 people or more) in a setting such as a football field or multi-purpose arena. Smaller groups can be accommodated on a level surface such as a parking lot, field, etc.
|
- Rover has a self-contained PA and speaker system. There is also an available video system included within Rover for showing safety videos and safety PSA's.
|
- Finally, Rover must be placed within 100ft. of an electrical source (outlet or generator). The simulator will not work properly if the power source is farther away than 100ft.
