Zusammenfassung:Describes the century-long emergence and battle to protect drivers and occupants of off-road and on-road vehicles from crush-related injuries from rollovers. Deaths and serious injuries have been associated with vehicle overturns that involve tractors, other motorized machinery, automobiles, and small vehicles.

This book argues that a key factor in this response was epidemiology that reported rollover-related deaths and engineering revisionism that moved reported rollover-related deaths and engineering revisionism that focused on prevention.
