VEHICLE ROLLOVER
Most vehicle rollovers occur in SUV's or trucks. It is well known that these vehicles have a high center of gravity and other design defects that make them more likely than other vehicles to rollover during a crash. These accidents cause serious injuries and even death. Despite the high likelihood of a rollover accident, manufacturers have failed to design adequate safety measures into the vehicles. In many rollover accidents the occupants are thrown from the vehicle due to defective seatbelts and when roofs cave in due to a lack of support, further increasing the likelihood of catastrophic injury or death.
Manufacturers are aware of these defects but choose not to correct them – choosing profits over safety. More than 10,000 people are killed in rollover accidents a year.

TIRE FAILURES
While most drivers will log thousands of miles without so much as an air leak, tire failures can and do occur regularly. The sudden failure of a tire can cause a vehicle to lose control and either roll over or collide with other vehicles or objects.
Tire tread separation is in the news a lot these days because of the Firestone tire recall in recent years. Tread separation however is not a new problem Most tires are steel belted radial tires and tread separation is the most common type of failure in the steel belted radial tire. When the tread separates from the tire carcass or the inner plies, it can cause a blowout. Tread separation can frequently be traced to poor bonding or adhesion of the tire components during the manufacturing process. Tread separation can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Loss of control is especially likely in vehicle with a high center of gravity like SUV's and trucks.

SEATBELT FAILURE
During a collision, the vehicle and the persons riding in the vehicle are subjected to potentially destructive forces. Properly designed and manufactured seat belts should restrain a passenger and prevent ejection and violent movement during a crash. However, many of the seatbelts which manufacturers have installed in vehicles were defectively designed and can result in serious injury when the seat belt unlatches or fails during a crash.

SEATBACK FAILURE
Each year thousands of people are injured or killed in rear end accidents. Many of these injuries or deaths are caused by the seat back failing. Seat backs should be protecting the passengers not causing catastrophic injuries or deaths. During a rear end collision the auto moves forward while the occupants weight presses against the back of the seat. When a seat back collapses the front seat passenger can ramp backwards and strike his head against the roof, the seat back can possibly be ejected from the vehicle's rear window. Seat back failure can not only injure the person in the front seat but children in the back seats are often injured when the front seat collapses backwards. Injuries from seat back failure include head injuries, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries.

ROOF CRUSH
Improperly designed roofs on vehicles greatly limits or eliminates occupants survival space when the roof crushes during a roll over accident. Roof crush causes the occupants head and spines to come in contact with the vehicle's roof. Roof crush also causes the window area of a vehicle to become larger and result in passengers being ejected from the vehicle. Often times persons who are ejected have fatal injuries. Even belted passengers can suffer injuries due to partial ejection from the vehicle when the roof crushes. More than 7000 people a year are severely injured or killed as a result of a roof crush. Manufacturers know this but still refuse to redesign their vehicles roofs.
