judging by looking a the scene, she would've been. 2 3/4 tonne of land rover with over 2 tonne of it below waste line in a roll on those crappy looking pillars wouldn't support the weight. then roll it 4 times i know what i'd prefer to be in.

I agree with you Alex my mate rolled a 110 hard top years ago only 1 roll and the roofline was down to the dash top Shocked they crumple very easily when rolled.

Yes, the pictures of your Mini has caused me serious concerns about the Defender and prompted me to either get a Monocoque (Freelander2) or else a roll-cage fitted to the Defender. This would never happen to my wife though as she refused to use the Defender!

Good luck,
Harvey

If she was in your Defner it wouldnt have happened Thumbs Up


The reason I said this is because its slower colder noisier ergo not as comfortable so the accident would/may not have happened.

Agreed in a roll even at 0mph the defender roof will collapse. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Glad she's ok. A lesson to us all when we're tired and driving. It stood up well having rolled 4 times. Please wish her all the best.

Ps Ken officially has the best job in the world!
