Are large trucks prone to rolling over?
Yes. The high center of gravity of large trucks increases their risk of rolling over, particularly on curving ramps. A little more than half of deaths among occupants of large trucks occur in crashes in which their vehicle rolled over, compared with about 60 percent of SUV occupant deaths and 45 percent of pickup occupant deaths (both SUVs and pickups also have high centers of gravity). In contrast, about 25 percent of passenger car occupant deaths occurred in vehicles that rolled over.
