Heres some rollover tests.

Careful with those highway evasive maneuvers! Especially the lifted crowd.

Abusing the 4Runner in the snow. V6 POWER!!! - YouTube nothing to do with wrecking but I want to kill whoever the driver is.
Rollover almost happened to me the other day when a wolf poped out of no where while i just got on the highway going 100km/hr after being offroad, looked very similar to that minus the flipping

And yet everyone still takes their sway bars off 
Every SUV was bad about this at one point. The 2nd gen was really, really bad about wanting to roll over. The Jeep wrangers were really awful as well. Every generation started getting lower to the ground, and wider. The 4th gen is a much more squat vehicle than previous generations to help control the roll over.
These older model's also had horrible side impact protection as well. It almost makes sense in an accident to hit head on, rather than try to swerve and risk rolling or impact at the side. Even 1st gen runners had a minimum safety cage built into the front. By the 3rd gen, the crumple zone is much stronger than the side impact zone.

That looks very familiar. That's almost exactly what happened in my rollover only I didn't do the roll at the end. Ended up back on the tires pointed in the direction I was coming from. Rollover was exacerbated by coming off of ice back onto dry pavement.
