Rollover Accident Statistics

Most SUV’s are likely to roll over in one of every four accidents. For most passenger vehicles, the chance of a rollover during an accident is less than 10%.  SUVS and pickups have the highest risk of rollovers. Obviously, the likelihood of death in rollover accident decreases dramatically when the victim is wearing a seatbelt.
