Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a vehicle roll over in a crash?
Rollovers usually happen when a vehicle trips on something, like a curb, soft shoulder or another car, while moving sideways at speed, causing it to tip rather than slide. Sharp steering corrections or a high center of gravity can also contribute.
Why do rollover crashes tend to cause serious injuries?
When a vehicle flips or lands on its side, occupants can be thrown against the roof, doors or windows, and unbelted passengers face a higher risk of being ejected. The cabin can also deform as the roof takes repeated impact.
Are some vehicles more likely to roll over than others?
Taller vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs, pickups and vans, are generally more prone to rolling over than lower sedans in similar conditions.
Does wearing a seat belt make a difference in a rollover?
Yes. Seat belts keep occupants positioned inside the vehicle during a rollover, cutting the chance of ejection and reducing the severity of injuries compared with riding unbelted.
