Do not fill this in! ===Jeep rollovers=== A segment aired in December, 1980, concerning the alleged [[Jeep CJ|Jeep CJ-5]] ''high rollover risk'' as demonstrated in [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] testing. The demonstration was a [[Jeep]] rolling over during an extreme turn at 20 mph, something that would not cause other cars to roll over. It was deemed by ''60 Minutes'' reporters as the "most dangerous thing on four wheels". After the show aired, many people were concerned about the safety of the vehicle, and following sales plummeted. This tarnished the reputation of the [[Jeep CJ]]; the model was discontinued in 1986. Years after the incident occurred, it was found that the [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] had attempted to roll the car 435 times, only having 8 rollovers. The show had also failed to mention/show that there were weights hanging on spots of the vehicle that had caused the vehicle to have a higher rollover risk.<ref>{{cite web|title=It Didn't Start With Dateline NBC|url=http://walterolson.com/articles/crashtests.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200225014108/http://walterolson.com/articles/crashtests.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2020-02-25|last=Walter|first=Olson|work=[[Walterson]]|publisher=[[National Review]]|date=June 21, 1993}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
