SUV Roof Crushes Kill Motorists

By Eddie Farah

ADVERTISEMENTS

In about 35 percent of auto accidents, death occurs where there is a rollover. In a SUV the death rate jumps to 59 percent.

The key to surviving the crash, if you are not ejected, is the strength of the vehicle's roof.

Right now the federal government is considering increasing roof strength, something that hasn't been done in passengers cars since 1974.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has issued a report, Roll Over, that concludes that roof strength "definitely influences injury risk" and says the federal government has greatly underestimated the number of deaths from an SUV roof crush. It calls for even stronger standards to save more lives.
