Q. Why did we get rid of the 15 passenger van?

A. The rollover risk “increases dramatically as the number of occupants increases to full capacity” and is “about five times greater than when the vehicle contains only a driver”. See http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov for NHTSA 25-04 June 1, 2004 report. Refer to paragraph 4.5.16 of the Handbook.
