Range Rovers have low center of gravity, but once rolled the truck can be
totalled. However, the driver has a chance of walking away.
Unless there is a mountain or some such involved, it is impossible to
'rollover' a Series Land-Rover -- they just won't go fast enough:-) They
can, with extremely foolish off road driving, be made to fall onto their
sides...or so I've been told...and they are often protected from 'scratches'
in this circumstance by a generous coating of mud. Once on its side, a good
winch (or a great many wenches) or another Rover can be useful for pulling
it rightside up, and then off it goes to look for another place that might
make it fall over again.
