oh irseg: i could just as easily say: i smoke, but i haven't gotten lung cancer ever. in the old days (old meaning 2-3 years ago) the SUVs did not have to pass any rollover tests, because of the loophole i described above. When an independent test was performed on a number of models, nearly all failed the rollover test. I personally have seen 3 accidents involving an SUV that flipped 180 degrees at least. i must admit, it was pretty cool seeing such big cars flip. like i was at a movie stunt or something.
I know that congress was trying to pass a law to address this *one* issue (rollovers) and not others. I don't know what's happened since.
