SUVs including the Ford Explorer, Ford Bronco and Bronco II, Toyota 4 Runner, Isuzu Rodeo and Trooper, and Honda Passport are among the vehicles that have experienced accidents, injuries and fatalities due to rollovers.
[...]
SUVs will experience rollovers more than 75 percent more than regular cars. Furthermore, the NHTSA reports that despite great improvements in standards between 2006 and 2009, the safest SUVs are still more likely to rollover than the least safest sedans or coupes.
In 2000, 10,108 people died because of traffic collisions that led to SUV rollovers. More than 62 percent of all SUV fatalities happen because the vehicle experiences a rollover.
Rollovers are incredibly dangerous and lead to more fatalities than almost any other types of traffic violations. In 2002, there were almost 11 million traffic collisions reported in the U.S., as per the NHTSA. While only 3 percent of those collisions involved a rollover, they accounted for more than 33 percent of traffic fatalities that year. More than 10,000 people died because of vehicle rollovers, and 72 percent of them neglected to wear their seatbelts.
By 2006, seven out of every 10 SUV manufactured featured an electronic stability system to help deter rollovers. Only 43 percent of SUVs manufactured the previous year included this new technological asset. Thirty-nine models of SUV received a four-star rollover resistance rating from the NHTSA that year, the highest ever up to that point.

Och åter igen, ESP är en fin hjälp både för att minska eller helt förhindra visst sladdande och i stort sett eliminerar vältrisken pga. sladd men den upphäver inte fysikens lagar och det går inte att trolla bort en hög tyngdpunkt med elektronik.
Tycker ni länken är för gammal så har vi denna lista, även den från USA på vad de rankar som de sju säkraste SUV:arna

It scores perfectly in every IIHS and NHTSA category except for NHTSA's rollover test, where every vehicle on this list scored four stars.
Trots att det är de säkraste av alla moderna SUV:ar så fick ingen högsta betyg på välttest.
Om vi istället kollar på en normal bil som Volvo S60 i exakt samma test
http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shop...ehicleId=10067 så har den full pott, fem stjärnor. Så ja, risken är större att en SUV välter och det gäller även med ESP.
