I bought my S without even thinking about looking at crash test data... But just out of curiosity, how does it do? Where do you look to get that data?

 

I don't have any specific links right now, but it does extremely well. It's a very strong frame, with well-designed crumple zones.

 

I concur. Extremely safe, even for a roadster. There have been reports of a few people rolling their S2000 and simply walking away from the accident completly unharmed.

 

A buddy of mine lost control going waaay too fast around a corner and nosed into a tree at about 70mph. This is the result. He walked away with only cuts and scratches to his face from the airbag deploying. That's enough for me to feel safe.

 

omg.. if you rolled with the top down .. your neck would break or something...

 

The S2000 has rollbars which should protect you a bit.

 

most likely you won't

 

is it just me or does this car look rio?

 

long as you got your seatbelt on and your top isn't down while you dont have your belt on

 

You think the softtop is going to protect your neck in a rollover? Yours must have a beefier frame than mine.

But seriously, someone posted pics of their rollover accident a few months ago. The weight of the engine was enough to keep the rear of the car in the air. It came to rest upside down balanced on the front of the hood and the top of the windshield. I was glad to see that since my head sticks up higher than our rollbars.

As far as govt crash tests, www.nhtsa.dot.gov lists results for 03, 04 and 05 models. All get 4 stars for front impact, and 5 stars for both side impact and rollover.
