When a car rolls over, its occupants could easily be ejected, particularly if they are not restrained at the time of the crash. Rollovers are involved in roughly 30 percent of national traffic fatalities, even though they account for fewer than three percent of reported crashes. Unrestrained passengers were involved in most of these deaths.
