“I’ve been investigating heavy truck accident claims for 40 years, and the outcomes are all over the board. This kind of system makes the difference between walking away without injuries to being taken away from the accident. There are a lot of gimmicks out there, but this is for real.”
Steve Toth, Truck Claims Adjuster for Acme Claims Services, explains his view on RollTek after investigating the claim on the 65 mph Henderson truck roll that occurred in June of 2009.
LifeGuard RollTek™ is the first-ever rollover protection system for Class 8 vehicles, combining side airbag protection with the latest advancements in seat belt technology to significantly reduce the potential for death or serious injury in a rollover.
A roll sensor located inside the cab monitors the truck's position or angle, and, when an imminent rollover is detected, up to three other RollTek components are deployed.
The occupant pretensioner tightens the driver's seat belt to keep the driver securely in his seat.
The seat pull-down lowers the suspension seat to its lowest position to increase survivable space.
The side airbag inflates to cushion head impact and reduce head/neck injuries.
