By nature, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have a high center of gravity and are have gained notoriety as the most unstable and rollover-prone vehicles on the road today.
While traffic accidents in general are becoming more frequent and more deadly, incidents involving Sports Utility Vehicles are proving to be even more disastrous.
While many consumers claim to like SUVs because they feel that the vehicles are safer, thousands of Americans are killed and others suffer severe and chronic injuries as a result of weak vehicle roofs that collapse during rollovers. Because of the vulnerability of these roofs, the pillars can collapse, seriously hurting or even killing the passengers inside the vehicle. Typically persons injured by roof crush have lower-cervical neck fractures and sustain major back injuries – including lifelong paralysis.
