Rollover simulator

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A rollover simulator is a device that allows a car to be turned upside down in order to practice loosening the seat belt and freeing it after a traffic accident . In particular, the problem of orientation and the necessary support forces in connection with the necessary roll-over exercise can prevent any panic attacks that may occur in advance.

Rollover simulators are used both for the training of private individuals and for the training of rescue personnel such as fire brigades , rescue services, etc. in order to be able to practice patient-friendly rescue from an accident in advance. Most such simulators can be rotated 360 °. Rescue from very difficult situations can be simulated. This is often a major problem, especially for the rescue personnel, to get the patient out of the car as quickly as possible.

In Germany there are several such simulators of different designs that are maintained by different operators.

  • TÜV rollover simulator

  • ADAC rollover simulator
