General Motors New Rollover Crash Test Facility

General Motors has opened a new $10 million rollover crash testing facility in Michigan. GM officials say the premise of the facility is to reduce the number of rollover-related injuries and deaths by developing sensors for airbags. An estimated 2 percent of all crashes involve rollovers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. From this 2 percent, an estimated 10,000 people die annually, a number that comprises 40 percent of all automotive crash fatalities a year. Almost 200 crash tests a year are expected to occur at this new facility, which is the first plant of its kind to be owned by an automaker.

They should plant a couple trees and add some fire hydrants at the end of the test track.

Really? $10 million to get some vehicles to roll over. Just go to a county fair rollover contest.
