What is a rollover vehicle?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A rollover vehicle is a specially prepared picture car engineered to safely execute a controlled rollover stunt on camera.
Rollover vehicles are stripped of all glass, fitted with an internal roll cage, fire suppression, and breakaway body panels, and are typically launched by a pipe ramp or cannon mechanism rather than a natural road event. The stunt coordinator, SFX team, and fabrication shop jointly engineer the rollover system, and the sequence is executed only after multiple dry runs and sign-offs from all department heads and the production's safety officer.
