The incidence of single vehicle fatal rollover accidents involving utility vehicles was examined from the FARS file using data from years 1978-1980. Vehicle type was separated into 14 categories and the number of fatal accidents and occupant fatalities was examined. Using available registration data from the R. L. Polk Company, accident rates per registered vehicle-years were computed and compared. Fatality rates were computed in a like manner as well as by occupancy.
