Rollover Accident Reconstruction 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ‘of the nearly 9.1 million passenger car, SUV, pickup and van crashes in 2010, only 2.1 involved a rollover. However, rollovers accounted for nearly 35 of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. In 2010 alone, more than 7, 600 people died in rollover crashes.’ Rollover accidents continue to be a leading contributor of vehicle deaths. While this continues to be true, it is pertinent to understand the entire crash process. Each stage of the accident provides valuable insight into the application of reconstruction methodologies.
Rollover Accident Reconstruction focuses on tripped, single vehicle rollover crashes that terminate without striking a fixed object. Topics featured in this book include: Analysis methods through various accident phases, including advanced simulation; Vehicle event data recorder usage; Occupant ejection during rollover crash. The goal of this title is to break down the various phases of a rollover crash to analyze each stage for use in the reconstruction process – to the greater understanding of crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.
