The change is largely to the widespread availability of electronic stability control (ESC), which to prevent rollover. With the tendency to reduced roll over SUVs are safer than cars, to balance because their larger size and weight offer better protection in a crash, the IIHS said.

"The risk of rollover in SUVs used their size/weight advantage prevail, but that is no longer the case, thanks to ESC," said Anne McCartt, Senior Vice President of the Institute for research.

When driver death rates by vehicle style are considered, minivans deaths per million registered vehicles have the best results with a mortality rate of 25 riders, the insurance industry funded security group found. SUVs are not far behind with 28, and pickup trucks on average 52 driver deaths. Cars have a mortality rate of 56, but smaller cars with fare worse than larger, 4-door motor coaches show a mortality rate of 82, compared to 46 for very large 4-door vehicles.

The IIHS analysis driver death rates measured from 2006 to 2009, for the years 2005-8 model. A general death rate registered 48 deaths per million vehicles found during this period.

It is not only weight, which gives the advantage of SUVs. It is also the height of the vehicle and other factors. When compared to cars and SUV's of similar weight, the SUVs have lower death rates, which said IIHS.
