I posted pictures of this rather strange looking Saab last night and it certainly drew plenty of interest. I didn’t know exactly what the car was used for, only that it was some sort of rollover training.

CAM provided a little more info in comments…..

I’ve seen one of these before, when i was training for my rally license. We had to use a car in a jig like this, in my case an Audi A4, to simulate how to safely exit a car in an emergency situation

And they guy who provided the photos, Viktor, also provided some more information:

The training performed in this type of rig is how to escape a car once it’s inverted, something that can happen in a real world accident, of course.

The method used to escape safely (without landing on your head), is to put your feet and one hand on the windscreen or roof. Release the seatbelt, open the door and crawl out.

Almost every driver student in Sweden usually tries this once before getting their licence. The link i provided you with is from a traffic safety day in the Swedish army. Lots of our young soldiers drive heavy trucks and tanks during their military service, and of course accidents happen when young boys are playing.

Thanks Viktor and CAM for the info.
