I would say that is pretty much true because the "average" sit-on-top is
quite wide and stable and designed such that it's easy to climb onto rather
than roll.  However,  I've paddled a friends Prijon Twister which
essentially a whitewater hull very similar to the Prijon Hurricane but with
a closed deck making it a sit-on-top.  With thigh braces it's one of the
easiest boats I've ever rolled..
