Zusammenfassung:An additional benefit is its ability to stop a continuous overturn beyond 90° to the rear or to the side in low-energy overturns. [...]in rear overturns, it has the added feature of shifting the motion to the side away from the rider. Passive controls include ROPS and CPDs, which are engineered interventions. Since ROPS have been cited as impractical, the CPD has become the next line of defense against injury but it faces intense controversy. The use of these units provides a real-world demonstration of CPD effectiveness-to date, it has been associated with no deaths. [...]at least 20 testimonials bear witness to the CPD saving their lives.
