My mom had a late 80's Ford Bronco 2, which is the small one. That thing was high, narrow and my mom drives pretty fast. She never rolled it and I kept good shocks on it for her out of fear of her rolling it. I can see how bad shocks and a tight turn could get that thing to roll easily.

These reports always miss the mark.... drivers are deadly, not cars! You cannot drive a high center of gravity vehicle like a sports car, yada yada yada!

It is totally drivers and not cars. I would care to bet that modern SUV's on modern street tires can pull more g's then a lot of cars did in the 60's, so I'm not so sure that it's poor handling vehicles that cause death's. I think people just try to do too much when driving. Yesterday I saw someone shaving while driving. Two days ago a lady pulled out from a side street into my lane with about 7-8 car lengths, after sitting there for a little while waiting. That literaly scared the hell out of me; thank goodness for nice grippy tires and 3/4 ton brakes on the truck. I know she saw me because it was dark and you can't miss the big beamy headlights on my truck.
