What Makes Rollover Crashes Dangerous?
Rollover crashes can be especially dangerous because occupants may experience several forces as a vehicle tips or overturns. The risk of injury depends on vehicle speed, roadway conditions, seat belt use, and the number of times the vehicle rolls.
Seat belts are among the most effective safety features in a vehicle. They help keep occupants inside the passenger compartment and can reduce the chance of being thrown from the vehicle during a rollover.
Electronic stability control can also help drivers maintain control during sudden steering movements. Drivers should keep speeds appropriate for roadway conditions and avoid abrupt maneuvers that could cause a vehicle to lose stability.
After a rollover, occupants may have injuries that are not immediately obvious. Medical evaluation can help identify problems involving the head, neck, back, or other parts of the body.
