Why are SUVs vulnerable to rollovers in a collision?
During an accident or sudden change in movement, the forces that act on a passenger car tend to be transferred into a sideways sliding motion. An SUV, on the other hand, having a higher center of gravity makes it possible to convert this energy of motion into rotational forces. Any sudden change in movement, such as abrupt swerving to miss an accident, can cause the center of gravity to become displaced, creating instability and ideal conditions for a rollover.
