In fact, each year more than 280,000 rollover crashes were recorded claiming the lives of more than 10,000 lives according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Rollover accidents are often caused by the vehicles instability especially while in turns. Light trucks have a high center of gravity which makes them unstable in fast turns.
