"Such an event can be triggered by a sudden turn to avoid a collision, or a loss of traction due to water or ice."
Oh can it really? In order to roll over as a result of a turn, you generally need a lot of traction (friction between the tyres and the ground is necessary to hold the bottom of vehicle in one place whilst the physics acting against the top 'push' it over). While there may still be sufficient traction on a wet road to accomplish this, I severely doubt there would be on snow or ice, even in a vehicle with a very high centre of gravity.

I browsed the NHTSA site for some numbers, mostly for ordinary cars for Joe Public. We might make a list out of them. Any suggestions for other cars? Please add link.

I added the statement that rollovers 'have a higher fatality rate than other types of vehicle crashes', citing safercar.gov (which is run by NHTSA). A different, older and more detailed page from NHTSA says that 'In terms of fatalities per registered vehicle, rollovers are second only to frontal crashes in their level of severity' ( Vehicle Dynamic Rollover Propensity). Ideas on how to best deal with this apparent self-contradiction are welcomed. Thanks. Lklundin ( talk) 07:43, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Within European union, it is considered that HGV rollovers do not usually result in serious injury, making the "rollover stability system" to not increase safety [1].
Inside the European union, most rollovers occur off the carriageway. When the occupant is not ejected from the vehicle and the car does not strike any rigid objects, rollovers are the least injurious of the different impact types, because deceleration is longer and slower. [2].
Nonetheless, rollover risk depends upon the centre of gravity, suspension characteristics and loads carried. The severity of injury depends on the presence of crash-protective roadsides and the speed of impact. [3].
It is considered that Electronic Stability Programmes can contribute to reduce some accidents including rollovers. [4].
In Sweden one to two rollover accidents occur every day [5].

It looks like for the light vans and minibuses, 22% of those accidents are rollovers in the UK, and 16% in Germany. Source: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/sites/roadsafety/files/pdf/ersosynthesis2018-vehiclesafety.pdf
Also, but that is another issues rollovers tend to increase with the ABS, according to the exact same source.
According to United nations the ESC is effective at preventing different types of crashes including rollover crashes.

It looks like rollover are increasing in Europe:
According to the same source: Rollovers, as a single event (rollovers without the occurrence of any impact) are rare events in Europe. Also, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV), Multi Purpose Vehicles (MPV) and other light trucks are over-represented in rollover accidents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.185.253.2 ( talk) 20:47, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Rollover (disambiguation) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 01:03, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
