SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) account for many of the most dangerous vehicles on our streets today. Originally designed and marketed for off-road use, certain SUVs were developed with high suspensions and narrow wheelbases. However, most SUVs are in use on highways - often traveling at rapid speeds. Because many SUVs have high centers of gravity (due to high suspensions) combined with top heavy designs and narrow wheelbases, they are particularly susceptible to rollovers when a driver is forced to make a foreseeable evasive maneuver at highway speed. The design flaws in certain SUVs don't stop there, however.

Despite the significant likelihood of a rollover accident, many SUV manufacturers have failed to integrate adequate safety measures into their vehicles. Among other things, the lack of a roll bar and defective airbags in many models increases the probability of death or serious injury during a rollover accident. In many such tragedies, passengers are thrown from the vehicle due to defective seatbelts and Roof Crush caved-in roofs due to a lack of crashworthiness, further increasing the likelihood of catastrophic injury and death.

SUV manufacturers are aware of these design flaws, but choose not to correct them - choosing profits over safety. Unfortunately, many innocent victims have paid the price for this greed with serious injuries or even their lives. In fact, more than 10,000 people are killed in rollover accidents each year.
