In about 35 percent of auto accidents, death occurs when there is a rollover. In an 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.
The Insurance Institute Status report called Roll Over, concludes that roof strength “definitely influences injury risk” and says the federal government has greatly underestimated the number of deaths from a SUV roof crush.

About 100,000 Fort F-Series 2008 pickup trucks are being recalled because the driver’s seat violates standards for safety.
The company says that a weld that connects a bracket and the driver’s seat could crack in an accident in a small number of vehicles. That violates federal seat back strength guidelines for safety.
