designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger drive
vehicles, any more than low-slung sports
cars are designed to perform satisfactori-

more likely to die than a person wearing
a seat belt. There are steps that a driver
can make to reduce the risk of a rollover.

abrupt maneuvers, do not load your roof

your vehicle in any way.
