How would that happen? I assume it went fast enough over a bump that all 4 wheels left the ground and that set them off?
Not in my car 
IIRC the yaw sensor is the key ie it senses there may be a roll over
I recall there was a guy in the US who had this happen with the roof down and managed reset them (early ones are spring loaded rather than pyrotechic)

Errrrr.... Anyone know if this was/is/could be a prob with the vantage roadster too? Not that i am going to be turning traction off or going sideways ...but you never know eh
If you set the hoops off (a ball leaves a cone if gravity ceases to be an effective force) they will fire - same in any car. It's not a 'problem'!AHORSEY said:

Like I said earlier the "system" would need to see what looks like enough movement to "see" it as an imminent rollI've "had air" in both my roadster and never had a problem.
There are two types of trigger, the early cars (not sure when it stopped or whether this included early VH2 Vantage roadsters) have a mechanical spring based trigger like the two cars mentioned here, that can be reset.
ALL the cars after those have a pyrotechnic trigger which is a one "shot" sealed unit
I'm unaware of ANY Vantage roadsters doing this, nor are BR (I asked the first time I got air
