Sport utility vehicles have been surrounded by controversy since automakers introduced them to the market. While they offer drivers more space, the higher center of gravity and narrow track width have been shown to increase the risk of rollover.
SUV Rollovers often occur when the terrain becomes imbalanced, such as when drivers veer off the road due to a loss of control or in an attempt to avoid an obstacle. The lack of roll protection in the form of roll bars increases the risk of life-threatening injuries or fatalities when a rollover does occur. Drivers grab the wheel in an attempt to steady the vehicle, but the shift in direction actually causes the top-heavy vehicle to tip. Rollovers are one of the more serious accident situations and often end in severe injury or death.
The ironic factor here is that SUVs are often positioned as family vehicles, when poorly designed vehicles can actually put multiple lives at risk — and the dangers increase as more weight is added in the vehicles.
