A system 120 for protecting a floor pan (110, Figure 1) of a vehicle, particularly an electric vehicle, includes a frame 130 coupled to the floor pan, a shaft 140A, 140B coupled to frame 130 using at least two springs 150A, 150B, 150C, 150C and a roller 160A, 160B, 160C, 160D, which is supported on the shaft and which may be a cylindrical or spherical roller. The roller protects the floor pan by preventing contact against an elevated surface. Shaft 140A, 140B may be shorter than a distance between two opposite members of frame 130. Typically, the vehicle includes batteries retained in the floor area by an engagement mechanism having an emergency release element for releasing the batteries during a collision.
