Being involved in a rollover crash is a completely traumatic experience, and these accidents are overrepresented in national roadway fatalities. In 2010, nearly 35% of deadly crashes in the United States involved overturned vehicles, despite making up less than 2.1% of reported crashes that year. An estimated 7,600 people were killed in rollovers in 2010, and nearly 69% of those fatalities were unrestrained occupants.
