Sure, I understand you said "what you drive and how you drive" and the 2nd part is what makes you safer against rollovers, but I've seen too many videos where a vehicle just driving, minding it's own business, but someone lightly taps the right spot of the vehicle because the other small vehicle was trying to avoid an accident, ends up flipping the bigger truck/large (massive) SUV.
I guess the theory is that rollover survivability is comparable between small and large vehicles, while impact survivability is not. Big vehicles always win in those situations.
