D. Rotational and rollover motor vehicle collisions present the greatest potential for multiple impacts
- Close to one-third of all fatalities involving motor vehicle occupants are caused by rollover crashes (ROCs). ROCs are underreported even though they represent a frequent and significant mechanism of damage.
- The primary cause of illness and mortality in the young population is motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). One of the deadliest types of MVCs are rollover collisions (ROCs).
- A crash is considered to have occurred when the vehicle rotated by less than 90 degrees around any longitudinal or lateral axis.
- Because most ROCs occur on highways, there are significant concerns about driving safety.
- Every year, ROCs involving 350,000 passengers in 220,000 light motor vehicles occur in the US.
- These crashes resulted in 9000 occupant deaths and 14,100 serious injuries, while 224,000 victims had mild to moderate injuries.
