Figure 1.
The number of participants who kept roll-over protective structures (ROPS) erected (triangles) or did not have ROPS on their tractors (squares) were both evenly divided (50% vs. 50%) at the mean sitting height (91.8 mm), while 83.3% of the individuals who folded away the ROPS (circles/solid dots) had a sitting height greater than 91.8 cm. Eleven out of 12 (91.7%) of those participants who folded away the ROPS (circles/solid dots) have a sitting height greater than the clearance specification (90 cm) of current SAE J2194 standard for ROPS. Shoulder width did not have an association with the decision of folding away a ROPS.
