What is it about Hawaii Roadways and vehicles and their drivers that causes so many over turned vehilces.

From watching the various Local news reports, it seems like Hawaii, especially Oahu has a large amount

of Traffic Crashes involving vehicles ending up side down or on their sides.  Many are single vehicle crashes.

Compared to the older vehicles, the  modern cars are much more stable.

Anyone got any ideas?

Yeah that is wierd....

You know the saying, "You'll most likely be in a car crash than in a plane crash"

In Hawaii, "You'll most likely be in a car crash upside down than right side up"

On a serious note...I have a family member that's been in 2 overturned car crashes....and only got scratches.... and he was driving

.

Probably the terrible roads here    Bumpy roads and potholes everywhere.  People probably hit a pothole and start flipping over

I'm sure it has to do with slope, speed limits, road material, etc, etc.
I'm sure old fart or Gz could explain it so we all common folk understand. (They have experience in these areas)

Rollover accidents are a problem anywhere there are cars and bad drivers, not just Hawaii. Most are caused by speed and driver inexperience. People drive too fast and in a panic, try to manuever beyond a vehicles capability.  Once a vehicle gets sideways the chances of a rollover increase...it's basic physics (momentum & rotational variables).

Modern cars are made to increase occupant survivability, but any vehicle can rollover with the right conditions.

I was in a rollover accident about 7 years ago. The driver was speeding long the roadway leading to Sams Club in PC, right by the bus barn. He rear ended me on the left side and my car hopped the curb and up onto the embankment. The embankment caused my 4Runner to roll around 4 times and then back onto the roadway. I suffered just some cuts and bruises and actually climbed out of the car on my own. The other driver left the scene too.

Not sure about Hawaii having more rollover accidents than other states. The roadways are supposed to be design to national, state and city standards. Many times the city standards are more stringent. My old firm used to design highways, but my department didn't handle the roadway geometry part. 

I know the freeway is designed to national standards as required to get federal funding for them. Other than that, I'm not sure about the City or State's policy on ensuring the roadways are per code.
