In Houston there was a horrific SUV accident where 5 family members died (all had no seatbelts) did a rollover off an overpass, fell 20-30 ft down and landed on the road below. Cops and paramedics came and they could not determine who was driving the vehicle because each person was in a random location in the vehicle because of no seatbelt + rollover. Autospy showed each person had massive internal injuries from being thrown around in the vehicle
I feel extreme sorrow for the person that actually ran over the guy, they will be traumatized for life

Those people sued Ford because they thought the Explorer had a tendency to rollover easily. Some of them were belted and still got thrown out of their vehicles.

In some rollover cases the passenger compartment gets badly deformed and the passengers are no longer tightly belted to their seats. Therefore they get ejected from their vehicles. Chill!
