If you're going to roll it, roll it hard.

So if that happened in the S2000, the those metal roll bars behind the seats would stop the car from crushing us?

Ummm, if I ever roll mine, I'll try to remember to put my hands up so I can just push off the ground and flip it back over.

What would happen if you have a hardtop? will it help or just collapse over you and make things even worse?
