If your vehicle crashes and rolls over, you should be able to walk away from the crash: the forces in a rollover crash are lower in degree than the forces from other collisions. What should be the case in theory is not, however, the case in fact. Even though rollovers amount to only three percent of all vehicle crashes, rollovers account for one third of all crash fatalities — 10,000 deaths every year. The gap suggests that poor vehicle design makes rollovers more dangerous.
