"Though the H2 is engineered to prevent rollovers they aren't bullet proof.
My dearest friend's son was traveling about 65 mph on a large overpass in Houston around 2:30 am last Saturday morning when his '06 H2 was struck in the left rear tire area by a drunk driver that was approaching from behind at a high rate of speed. It was basically a classic take out maneuver"
Actually the Hummer H2 has one of the best rollover ratings of any SUV you can buy and lowest fatality per vehicle rating of any vehicle PERIOD, except perhaps the Ford F350 dually. This July 23, 2008 article from CNN's old warrior section rates it as one of the least likely to rollover of any SUV you can buy. Speed and alcohol are a dangerous combination in any vehicle. Most of us have had friends mamed and killed in vehicles where alcohol was involved. The CNN article highlighted in this Hummer blog has a more detailed description of the H2s rollover factor.
