* Pickup Trucks Rock! But They Also Roll: Buckle Up For Safety
COLLEGE STATION,TX,USA –AgNews, by Linda Anderson -May 1, 2006: -- In fact, 2002 data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that almost one-quarter of the vehicles in Texas are pickups, said Bev Kellner of Texas Cooperative Extension's Passenger Safety program... Unfortunately many of these pickups' drivers and passengers may be riding with a false sense of security, Kellner said... "Pickup drivers think they are safer in trucks than in cars, but they are not. According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in fatal crashes pickup trucks roll over twice as often as passenger cars do. And being thrown out of the vehicle is the most common cause of injury and death in rollover crashes."..
