Rollover Accidents Facts

All types of vehicles both old and new are prone to rollover accidents.

Rollovers are complex and violent crash incidents. Comparing to other road accidents, rollovers reflect the interplay of the driver, car and gravity.

However, slender and tall cars such as vans, SUVs, pickups are more susceptible to roll over.
These types of vehicles have high centers of gravity that make them vulnerable to rollover in case of single-vehicle crash.  

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has provided ratings as part of its new Car Assessment Program to prevent rollover accidents.

Potential car buyers can now examine ratings prior to their purchase.

Rollover Prevention

Car manufacturers acknowledge the fact that rollover are inevitable. Hence, they equipped their SUV models with safety mechanisms designed to reduce injury and death during a rollover accident. These include electronic stability control, seatbelts and rollover air bags.

As rollover mostly happens in tall and narrow cars, it is advisable not to put too much luggage and overload it as it has high center of gravity. Moreover, its rear end extends as far as 4 feet beyond the rear axel that will increase instability if overloaded. It will also trigger tire blowouts.

Driving safely is the ultimate rollover prevention. Fatal rollover crashes are commonly caused by over speeding. In fact, 40% of fatal rollover accidents involved excessive speeding.
