The greatest argument will probably be that a Newell is heavier on the bottom half which makes it less prone to roll-over versus a lot of buses. It's weakness compared to a bus is in the upper portion in a roll-over versus probably most buses. This is what I hear from the bus guys.

A question I might ask; has any owners ever seen a Newell that has rolled over? I wouldn't mind knowing what would happen in that scenario. Like I already stated I think they are safe having not heard really anything otherwise.
