Types of Rollovers

Tripped Rollovers

NHTSA data show that 95% of single-vehicle rollovers are tripped . This often occurs when a vehicle leaves the roadway and slides sideways, digging its tires into soft soil or striking an object such as a curb or guardrail. The high tripping force applied to the tires in these situations can cause the vehicle to roll over.

1. Soft Soil

2. Guardrail

3. Steep Slope

4. Ravine or ditch

One of the best ways to avoid a rollover is to stay on the road. Electronic Stability Control is a promising new technology that will help drivers stay on the road in emergency situations.

Un-tripped Rollover (On the road rollover)

Un-tripped rollovers are less common than tripped rollovers, occurring less than 5% of the time, and mostly to top-heavy vehicles. Instead of an object serving as a tripping mechanism, un-tripped rollovers usually occur during high-speed collision avoidance maneuvers.
