Funny thing is, the three crashes that I heard about all involved the
passengers being ejected from the truck.  Maybe the real blame for
many of these deaths should be placed on the drivers who don't think
it's cool to buckle up.  The fact is, tires occasionally fail, and it
is our responsibility to show the kind of driving skill needed to deal
with such a situation.

High Center of Gravity + Low Roll Center + Poor Skills = Trouble

Of course I'm just a little biased.  I've never been a big fan of
Usless Utility Vehicles.
