Well that would be me that made that statement and I'll stick by it. How many roll overs do you see today? Almost any major accident that makes the news in Phoenix always is a rollover. How about children dieing from air bags or adults for that matter? Why is that? Cars safer?
How many rollovers did I see in the 60's, 70's and 80's? Very darn few!!!
Ok I conceed that yes, I do think cars are safer today than in the past years even with air bag injuries but not the roll overs. I'm thinking it could be a roadway design problem along with a narrow wheel track design problem or concrete surface VS black top.
It's funny that we have a large hospital right off a major freeway in Phoenix that everyone complained you couldn't here yourself think while standing outside as the concrete noise from the passing cars was terrible, as in required ear plugs. State kept saying it's in our heads, but about a year latter they paved it with blacktop and now you can carry on a conversastion outside without ear plugs.
I just don't think you'll convience too many people it's safer at 75mph than it is at 55mph.
