RE: nettles 
Glad you got out okay.
No airbags at all deployed!
at the nettles

That scares me, even more so when you say that you weren't going that fast, and the conditions were good etc..
I've sometimes wondered whether the top of your head would be protected if the car over-turned. I guess it depends on your height... did you come away from the seat at all? or does the seat-belt keep you quite firmly pressed into the seat?
Glad you're ok.

Wait for MarkB to interject.
He had a super slow roll one Christmas, years ago.
It's all down to the surrounding scenery. If ramped embankments are to your left and right and you enter a spin, chances are you may travel up one of these embankments and subsequently flip.
The car is not going to spontaneously jump over, like a Bond movie on a flat road. Chill people

Damn Jel, bad luck dude 
I had 'God of the Aquaplane' take my MY0 a couple of years back & this could have easily happened to me (fortunately I went right into barrier instead of left into trees!)
Glad you walked away unscathed

CC - I know it wont roll without some outside influence, its more the reported number of back end slides in apprently normal circumstances which worries me. In the 2 years and prob 25k miles total I have been in an S, driven v hard - I haven't had a bad moment. Makes me wonder if or when its coming.
