Wolfgang's ML page has some crash stuff on the ML section, including the roll during service pictures posted here a couple of weeks ago...

Incidentally, this story here linked on the site speaks volumes about the ML's safety:

A 16-year-old female passenger in the Isuzu, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene after being ejected from the vehicle. The 19-year-old driver, who was buckled up, also died. The other passengers, a 32-year-old female, a 34-year-old male and an 18-year-old male were treated for minor injuries.
The driver of the Mercedes did not seek hospital treatment.

i dont know, i'm just really curious about those "what if" situations happen to me or friends, i just want to show them pictures of what an M class will do in a rollover as opposed a ford explorer or gmc yukon.

Well you can check out this video -- in particular, MB's multiple side roll test is pretty interesting, as the ML is almost fully intact after all of it:

If he wants more than that, the only thing I can suggest is rolling his own ML to see what happens...

I have seen several roll over with real people in them and the worst that happen was one person broke their arm. They are the safest SUV in the world. Autogunner. P.S. I will also say that most of these crashes where done when the driver had the ESP turned off and was driveing to fast and turning. Autogunner.

Yea that was his ML430. His wife was turning in an intersection when a car ran a red light and struck the ML from the side IIRC. I believe he also said the driver that hit his wife did not have insurance.

By the way it looks it did not break the sunroof, looks like the roof rails done their job, too bad for ever what you were carring up there. I hope everyone is O.K. and buy the way she looks they are, just wanted to make sure. Autogunner.
