Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "tripped" rollover?
It happens when a vehicle's tires catch on something, such as a curb, soft shoulder or guardrail, causing the vehicle to tip and roll. This differs from an "untripped" rollover, which can occur on flat pavement during a sharp turn or sudden swerve.
How can drivers lower the chance of a rollover?
Keeping tires properly inflated, avoiding sudden steering corrections, and slowing down before turns or lane changes all help a vehicle stay upright, especially in taller vehicles like SUVs and pickups with a higher center of gravity.
What injuries are common in rollover crashes?
Occupants can suffer head, neck and spinal injuries, broken bones and cuts, particularly if they are thrown against the roof or windows during the roll. Seatbelt use significantly lowers the risk of being ejected from the vehicle.
