SUV Rollover Accident
SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and
4x4 vehicles can be dangerous vehicles. The SUV was originally designed for all-terrain
or off-road use, so they were manufactured with high centers of gravity and narrow
wheelbases. Nowadays, SUVs are used on our highways at high speeds, carrying our most
precious cargo: our families, our children.
SUVs are prone to rollover
accidents, and SUV manufacturers know it. There are several reasons for rollover, including
some of the following:
- SUVs generally have high centers of
gravity
- SUVs generally have high
suspensions
- SUVs are top heavy to accommodate
numerous occupants and cargo
- SUVs generally have narrow
wheelbases
- These vehicles are not designed for
high-speed driver actions. A rollover is often the result of the driver taking evasive
action at high speed (e.g. on an interstate highway).
- Failing to add and improve safety
measures into the vehicles
- Lack of roll bars
- Lack of stabilization equipment
- Defective airbags
- Failure to design a crash worthy
vehicle
- Failure to provide engineering and
structural supports to stop the roof from crushing the occupants
- Restraint systems (i.e. seatbelt)
