The only way you can outjump a rolling tractor is if you have transplanted on an aircraft ejection seat.
The non rollbar survivers just didn't have vital parts crushed. They are found between tires & fenders, on the platform or still in the seat a with broken backs.
The attitude of "it will never happen to be" is pure foolishness & denial of your mortality. I've seen accidents at 20mph which was too fast for road conditions at the time. What makes you so smart so you can avoid all mishaps?
Most rollovers occur in low gear when hitched too high pulling out something stuck, a log tied to the tire while stuck or creeping along an embankment/side hill.
Rollbars & seat belts are avalable for Deere's back to 1960 at cost.Buy them.
Same goes for these truely stupid fools operating pto's without safety shields & covers. Ever see the awful mess of human wreckage, blood guts & gore of a person wrapped around a pto shaft being whacked against the ground or drawbar? Ever see the look of the family members face who found Dad,Mom,son or daughter ripped to shreds or staggering/dragging to the house missing limbs?
