    Abstract: A method of protecting a multi-rotor wind turbine support structure (101) against vibration induced overload is provided. The wind turbine (100) comprises at least a first nacelle (111) with a first rotor (110) and a second nacelle (121) with a second rotor (120), at least one of the nacelles (111, 121) being located at a position away from a central longitudinal axis (102) of the wind turbine support structure (101). The method comprises steps of receiving motion data ( ÿ 0 , ÿ 1 , ÿ 2 ), determining a vibrational mode level and activating a safety mode if a vibrational mode level exceeds a respective vibrational mode threshold. The motion data ( ÿ 0 , ÿ 1 , ÿ 2 ) represents a movement of the first nacelle (111) and of the second nacelle (121) and is used for determining the vibrational mode level of at least one vibrational mode of the wind turbine support structure (101).
