The simulator is the Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected Egress Trainer, or MET, and is the military's latest initiative to prepare troops how to react in the event of a rollover.MRAP rollover apparently is not particularly rare. But at least the military has been taking measures to mitigate the problem, like updating suspension and offering training programs.
According to Army statistics, there were 121 non-hostile-related MRAP rollover incidents in the military between Nov. 1, 2007 and Mar. 31, 2009. Since April 2007, the military has fielded approximately 12,000 MRAPS.

Does one build these contraptions if the problem is extremely rare?
