Anytime I see a rollover crash where a person suffers serious injuries, I have to ask, did the car protect its occupant like it should have? It’s a known issue in the automotive industry that the rollover tests vehicles must pass in the United States are a joke. As a result, there are countless vehicles on the road that aren’t as safe as they should be in a rollover crash. This means that countless people are injured worse than they would have been if the car had been designed correctly. It’s a problem that impacts lives, but receives too little attention.
