1ntCobra,
Well, heck. You gotta drive Excursions like locomotives; don't try to suddenly avoid collision, just run over anything in the way. I've never heard of anyone being killed in a locomotive rollover. 
I'm thinking that SUV's are more prone to rollover, offer more seductive power... maybe the reason for more deaths in the young and unwary. 
I'd hate to be in the lightweight Prius and be hit by an Excursion just as I'd hate to be hit by a train in anything, even another train. The problem with trains is we are riding on the nosecone. All the crush zone, and weight, is behind us.
