Forgive me if I misunderstood you but, I don't believe the Prius had anything to do with the famous accident you speak of. That was a Lexus model. It is a shame that Toyota is getting so much press on recalls lately. At least they are taking this head on and fixing things before people get hurt.
As for SUV rollovers, I see this first hand all the time. I work for a traffic reporting company and I see rolled over SUVs almost every day sometimes a few a day, just in my market. Luckily most are not fatal or even serious injuries. I rarely see small cars roll over.
I really wish driver training was far more thorough. It seems most people had no idea how close to the edge the capabilities of there cars were being pushed.
