I rolled my car in southern germany! With my bone stock S and absolutely new tires I tried to circumvent the collision with an animal 
The reaction of trying to evade the collision without first braking was wrong, but you are always brighter / wiser afterwards!
I tried to keep on the street when my rear broke loose, but with the bone new tires on the rear axle I had almost no chance and so I ended up head down in the wood!
By the way: I am 6'5" and by big, big chance I didn't get hurt at all, except from a head-bump at the side window, when I hit a tree. And I was lucky that the top was off, because if it would have been up, I would have hurt my head at the soft top linkage.
Al in all I can say, that I was very lucky and the "cockpit" of the S2000 is very, very strong. But ALWAYS wear seat belts! Without them I would have had no chance! If I find the time this evening I can try to uploasd some pics.

I watched a lady die in front of me, and in front of her husband, as their SUV rolled her head hit the pavement through the sunroof. The safety of the S2000 is useless without you're seatbelt, as with this suv with the sunroof. It was closed, the glass shattered, she would have lived with the belt on. I was wondering why the guy driving was screming his head off, I walked up and saw his wife under the dash. I've worn my belt since, as my passengers. Be safe all....
