Default Rollovers

Have you ever driven your SUV and felt it almost getting on two wheels when taking a curve? I felt that on my brother's car. What vehicles are more prone to rollovers?

Mostly, SUV's and vans. The taller the vehicle, the greater its tendency to roll. Sedans, hatchbacks and sports cars are closer to the ground, and it's almost impossible (but not totally impossible) to make them roll.

The taller and skinnier the vehicle the higher the risk of a rollover. My friend has a Ford pickup truck and he actually has stickers from the factory on the visors warning of the "high rollover risk".
