^ Rolling with laughter

It did stand up to the crash well and it shows that no matter how careful you are, there are other vehicles on the road you have no control over.

+1 on the safety of the new Defender.
This photo, and last year's video of that 7-8 barrel roll crash is a testament to the strength of the car.

Powerful reverse lamp mod is a must, the standard set up is pants and frankly dangerous. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof

I wonder why the airbags aren't deployed....?
Looks like serious impact from front and side. No Mud flaps for my 90.!

I imagine because it a crushing movement, the Def may well have already been stationary when the lorry rolled over on it. There's little evidence I can see of a conventional frontal or side impact.

Do the airbags deploy if a heavy object drops on an ND from above?
