I don't know if the coach had a stabilizer or not. The forces generated by a front blow-out are tremendous, does a stabilizer help, I think so. NTSB, and many private companies have conducted tests, these tests were done to examine exactly what occurs when a tire blows, the tests were not done to sell products. First instinct for most drivers is to brake, extensive tests have shown that is exactly the wrong thing to do, this generates even more side force increasing the chance of loosing control. There are videos and articles which demonstrate and explain the physics of a blow-out. In my opinion a steering stabilizer is another safety device not unlike antilock brakes or seat belts, something else to assist the driver in an emergency. I'm not trying to sell anything, I just believe stabilizers work. The video I referenced was dramatic and I seriously pray it NEVER happens to anyone, but to me it merely demonstrated what CAN happen. Some people drive fords, some chevys, the choice is always your preference.
