Actually, According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there have been 118 fatalities from the overturn of lift trucks from 1999 to 2003, averaging 23 deaths per year. None of these fatalites involved Toyota lift trucks equipped with SAS.

And I would say that Toyota represents 30% of all forklift sold.

If 23 deaths a year happen because of forklift overturn, and Toyota has never had a fatality with an overturn with a truck equipped with SAS, then that must mean the SAS is doing it's job. It's ACTIVE STABILITY and not PASSIVE STABILITY like everyother manufacturer is turning out.
