Seriously - this is news?
BLOOMINGTON, Illinois - Children are no safer riding in sport utility vehicles than in passenger cars, largely because the doubled risk of rollovers in SUVs cancels out the safety advantages of their greater size and weight, according to a study.

Researchers said the findings dispel the bigger-equals-safer myth that has helped fuel the growing popularity of SUVs among families. SUV registrations climbed 250 percent in the United States between 1995 and 2002.
Okay, this was obvious years ago. Why did it take so long for the media to report on this? Is it possible - just maybe - that a large number of reporters drive SUVs, and maybe didn't want to hear this?
