The center of mass is critical to most modern structures and vehicles

Explanation:

If a skyscrapers centre of mass was too high up it would risk being blown over, which is why the building the "Burj Dubai" is thicker at the bottom than at the top.

Cars, especially race cars and F1 cars all utilise very low centre of masses to increase handling and reduce the chance of the vehicle from toppling over. Which is definitely important if the driver wishes to stay fit and healthy. London buses are also incredibly hard to topple over even though they are so tall because of their low centre of mass, this picture shows them testing a bus to see how far the bus can be tilted.
