When the vehicle rolls over, the roof may crush, possibly resulting in a fatal head injury. Occupants could be thrown from the vehicle during a rollover. This frightening situation can occur if the windows become weak and break under the pressure of the rollover.
SUVs need strong supports, or roll bars, to keep the integrity of the roof intact in the case of a rollover.
Rollover accidents are affected by a vehicle's stability in turns. SUVs tend to have high centers of gravity, which decreases their stability.
Examples of some injuries resulting from SUV rollovers include spinal cord injuries, back and neck injury and head or brain injury.
