What happens to people in a convertible when it rolls?

Question:
I mean, a rollover is bad enough WITH a roof. But what are the safety features in a convertible? How are they different from standard, non-convertible cars?

Answers:

What is the purpose of the key button on the ignition of cars with a manual transmission?

Most convertibles have very low centers of gravity, and thus, rarely roll over. When they do, most newer models (and older models from safety conscious manufacturers) have a roll bar that will deploy when the vehicle is tilted beyond a certain point. Some cars have a roll bar permanently built into place (think volkswagen convertibles), and many have reinforced windshields that are strong enough (supposedly) to support theweight of the vehicle and hold the occupants away from the ground.

Stronger seats - possibly pop up roll bars or the chrome loops that you see are for roll protection- stronger windshields - seatbelts plus it's incredibly rare to roll a sports car the centre of gravity is much lower - it's SUV's that roll not small flat cars

Fortunately, most of the weight of a convertible is below the belt line, so the odds of a rollover are WAY slim, but if it does happen, you are pretty well done for without a roll bar.
