Rollover protective structure test - side impact test

Description:
Cab shown after a side impact test on a John Deere with a protective structure, The permanent deformation can be seen, as well as the broken glass. The operator would have been safe, but the intrusion of the cab elements into a pre-defined "safety zone" around the operator might have been momentarily invaded resulting in some possible injury. It was found that these "dynamic" tests were difficult to make repeatable, mainly because of the weight release systems. The final standard test method was a so-called "static" test which caused the frame to absorb a certain amount of energy by measns of a hydraulically induced frame deformation from different sides of the protective enclosure
