Excellent point! One of our members, returning to FL from the M.B. rally
had an accident in his GMC and tow car. He ended up facing the opposite
direction, tow car was damaged, GMC lost the driver's windshield due to
stress and the rear side window was bashed by a road sign. His wife sold
me she thought they were going to flip over.
According to GM and to Alex Birch, old time GM suspension engineer, GM
tried to flip the coach intentionally and couldn't do it. Now I know A.J.
Marshall flipped his but he said he was sliding along a deep swale made
up of loose gravel and he turned the wheel too sharp and too fast.
This is one safe people carrier!
