Frequently Asked Questions
Why are rollover crashes so dangerous?
A rollover can throw unbelted occupants against the roof or out of the vehicle entirely, and the roof itself can cave in as the vehicle tumbles, raising the risk of serious head, neck and spine injuries.
Which vehicles are most prone to rolling over?
Taller, narrower vehicles such as SUVs, pickups and vans have a higher center of gravity and are more likely to tip than low, wide passenger cars.
How much does a seat belt help in a rollover?
Wearing a seat belt keeps occupants in their seat as the vehicle rolls, cutting the chance of being thrown around the cabin or ejected, which is usually the most lethal outcome in this type of crash.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
It happens when a vehicle sliding sideways catches a curb, soft shoulder or other obstacle that digs in and flips it, as opposed to a rollover caused purely by sharp steering at speed.
