Frequently Asked Questions
Why are rollover crashes so dangerous?
A rollover throws occupants around the inside of the vehicle, and people not wearing seat belts can be ejected or thrown against the roof. The violent motion raises the risk of head, neck, and spinal injuries compared to most other crash types.
Which vehicles are most prone to rollovers?
Taller, narrower vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs, pickups, and vans, roll over more easily than low-riding sedans, especially during sharp turns or sudden swerves.
How does seat belt use affect survival in a rollover?
Seat belts keep occupants in place as the vehicle rotates, cutting the chance of ejection and reducing contact with the roof or windows. Unbelted occupants face much higher odds of serious injury or death in a rollover.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle's tires catch on something, such as a curb, soft shoulder, or guardrail, causing it to flip. This differs from an "untripped" rollover, which can occur on flat pavement during an abrupt steering maneuver.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Pasadena, MD
If you're involved in a rollover, stay as still as possible until you can assess any pain or injury before moving, since adrenaline can mask the signs of a strain, concussion, or fracture. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, and let paramedics check everyone involved. Once you're safe, document the scene with photos if you're able, and get the names and contact information of any witnesses nearby. Follow up with your own doctor in the days afterward, since some injuries from a rollover don't show symptoms right away, and keep records of any medical visits tied to the crash.
