Well this sucks....oh well. I agree it was only because of the side airbags. This was also based on national statistics on accidents. Hence why there are so many trucks that are on the top 20. They easily flip and are in a lot of accidents

Great, my little Mazda B4000 truckster is #2. I'm screwed.
Looks like I'm with you, have a Ranger I use as my daily driver.

I guess it would flip if I got it sideways bad and hit something, but it does drift well. :-)

danger is my middle name...

seriously, they commend the S2k for having five-star crash test ratings, roll over and side impact, but they call it dangerous because of no explosive bags beside the driver?

Is this derived from accident statistics, or did they look at a couple of cars and made it up?

Can't be bothered to read the article, plus, for me it's the S or a 750 sports bike...

The S would be 1000x safer than a motorcycle.

And probably 10000x safer if you are new to riding.
