The number of rolls, as well as other factors, has been associated with increased injury risk in rollovers. Data from NASS-CDS from 1995-2003 were used to evaluate the biomechanical implications of vehicle kinematics during multiple rolls and to evaluate the risk of injuries to different body regions during rollovers. The data showed that the risk of injury increased with increasing number of rolls. The rate of increase in risk varied by the region of the body affected and injury severity. The increased risk was particularly great when a vehicle rolled more than two complete rolls.
