Dog Crashes Car
ya, if not for safety... do it for your transmission.
edit:
I just remembered jeeps actually had a recall a few years back for electronic parking brakes randomly letting go... which is how Anton Yelchin died. Seems like that's not what happened here though.
Parked on a hill? Parking brake. Always.
TRACTOR PULLS: It's Not What You Think - Smarter Every Day
I’ve been to demolition derbies and monster truck shows in the 80’s where tractor pulls were part of the show, but not a pure tractor pull competition.
Yes, I had fun. It was back in the original Bigfoot days when monster trucks just drove over a few cars and everyone was amazed.
I still really want to go to the Mile of Mud in Florida and see swamp buggy racing in person before I die….but that means going to Florida in the summer.

This made me want to go hang out with southerners.
Has anyone been to a tractor pull, and is it fun?

Car makers sue to UNDO Right to Repair in Massachusetts
This is why I love my 50 year old Bronco and Jeep. None of this crap applies.
Of course I don't really have secure locking doors or electric locks or windows either, but that's fine where I live.

Cripes, I'd rather just get a used Jeep and WaveRunner and be at less than 15k lol.
Only about $150000 used I think. It seems the company may be closed.

It's a liberal Jeep. Refuses to support the right.

FORMULA OFFROAD ICELAND, AKUREYRI 2020 Round 2
Love the mile of mud track. The only racetrack I know of where getting bitten by a gator is a possibility during the race.
The buggies are fun, but I love the jeeps. Nothing like driving a car with the water level over your head!

2020 Jeep Wrangler Rolls Over In Small Overlap Crash Tests
Why bring it up? Because the flop was far less violent than the other crashes. The energy it took to flip the jeep used up kinetic energy the other trucks put into stopping hard and fast. Having experience with rolling, I know they aren't as scary or violent as people expect.
My speed at the start of a couple of my rolls was up to 80mph, not controlled and slow. They were faster than this test. Like this test, the act of rolling slowed the vehicle considerably. My seat was not much deeper than many seats I see in cars, but slightly. My interior, however, was bare metal everywhere, not padded pleather. Because there are zero crumple zones, the impact was absorbed by the frame, so transferred throughout the seat to me.
As for whiplash, I think the heavy helmet I was wearing would multiply that, not protect from it. I had no hans device, no helmet straps.
Edit: rollovers like this are less likely to cause whiplash or spinal injury than coming to a dead stop like the trucks did.
Is it exactly the same? No. Is it significantly similar? Yes. Do I have a decent idea of what a violent rollover is like. Yes. Better than around 99.999% of people.
So a relatively controlled and slow "flop" in a harness with a racing seat designed for lateral support rather than a high speed collision causing whiplash followed by a "flop" in a typical vehicle. Why bother bringing it up?

I have a Jeep Renegade myself, it's pretty much a bit more top-heavy Fiat 500X, I really enjoy it but it's made for on-road driving and it doesn't roll in this crash test. But I won't be taking it to the top of a mountain without a good road.

I mean, it's made for driving off-road, it's going to have some sub-optimal on-road characteristics. That's why Jeeps have roll bars.

Different test, driver side vs passenger makes a difference, but almost all those trucks seem to have ended up with the wall crushing the footwell or worse. I would rather flop on my side that lose a foot or leg any day.
Ejection is only an issue if you aren't wearing seatbelts.
Imo, the jeep still seems like the winner.
Here are some other vehicles in the same test.
