I would consider that a roll. >90*
Good job.

No dirt on the top of the vehicle == Not a roll!

I would think that a technical roll would be 180* or more but hey, that's close enough for me.

i'm going to disagree with all of you.
Flopped = 90*.
Turtled = 180*.
Rolled in my mind is a 270*+.

Ive checked the interweb and have yet to find a clear definition of flop vs Roll. turtle is pretty clear and i can say I did not do that for sure....

You guys are splitting hairs. If the jeep comes to rest with 2 or more tires off the ground unintentionally, AND it's not high centered, it doesn't matter what you call it, it's bad. Who cares if it's a roll, a flop, a turtle or whatever.

It was one heck of a yard sale!!! Great example of why you should have everything strapped down.

How about this, if a square is a type of rectangle then flops and turtles are types of rolls. Conversation over.

A face plant is > 90* but it's not a forward somersault.

Ok Im happy to call it a flop and am I for one am very glad nobody was hurt too!
Ive done a bit of research and the consenus on JF (if such a thing exists there
) was a flop is when the jeep is on its side, a roll is when its fully on the hood. Its also been said that my jeep was taking a nap which I almost like better.
A few people there posted up what they called a flop and aside from the uphill aspect of my jeep it was a flop.
