nice vid, at least this will assure my wife, since she think I'll just die if I ever get hit in my S. Wish they had a vid of it flipped upside down.

Yes, the S2000 always rated well in crash tests.

BTW, the red car in the first post is an early AP1 of course, not an '06, and the vid is much more than 3 years old.

And there are plenty of examples of roll overs without serious injury to the occupants.

An S2000 is MUCH safer than a miata.

what is the safety rating for the passenger in a side impact collision? the soft top frame could easily kill someone with a temple shot...take a look...
