I'd wager that many of the families who bought them did so because they were sold (ie: marketed) the idea that they were safer than cars, which is simply not true one bit.
How many people also bought them because they were simply popular, to fit in and keep up?
If marketing doesn't work, then why would so many industries spend billions on it to sell us things every day?
