Definitely good articles - I like the JP one best. I think that the one thing that both say, but not all that well is that after it happens, take a moment to relax and collect yourself. Being calm will help you do a more thorough assessment of the vehicle, the situation, and how to best get the vehicle back onto all 4 tires.

Another thing that I always try to do is let new passengers know what to expect, in the event of a roll-over or other "incident" (where to grab, how I will let them know it's happening, and how they can let me know their condition after the vehicle comes to a rest). No matter what, it's always good to read about this kind of thing and stay aware when you're in a group.

Thanks, RockinXJ!
