7 Cars That Were Literally Designed To Kill You

Ford Bronco II – The Rollover King of Death

This boxy little beast was designed with a dangerously high center of gravity and wheels set too close together, making it a ticking time bomb eager to flip over at the slightest provocation. Terrifying NHTSA stats showed that between 1986 and 1990, a staggering 260 people met their end when their Bronco II decided to turn turtle—a death rate more than double that of other SUVs. Even the legendary jockey Bill Shoemaker couldn’t outrun this disaster; he was tragically paralyzed for life after a Bronco II rollover on a California road. A 1995 court jury straight-up declared the Bronco II “unreasonably dangerous,” forcing Ford to eventually cough up over $113 million in settlements to grieving families.
