Wow those are some incredible pics. I'm glad you're OK.

I think the biggest thing I take away from that is how incredibly strong Honda made the A-pillar/frame around the windshield. I've seen pics of a couple wrecked Pontiac Solstices where that piece folded in like cardboard.

Also I make sure to keep my seatbelt tight on my waist to keep me from sliding above the roll bar if the worst were to happen, God forbid.

I'm also glad to see the top was down. I can't imagine having a rollover in the S with the top up and all of those bars and braces flying around my head.

hmm, I always wondered what would happen if I flipped and rolled my s2k. If you could educate us from your experience. Did it happen too fast so you just don't know what hit you? I was thinking if I ever rolled I would try to duck under the back brace (I'm assuming that's there to prevent smashing your head during a roll?) The S doesn't have anything that pops up in the event is is flipped over correct? So do you think ducking would be the best course of action? Or just praying you don't crack your head too hard.

its a convertible. if you roll it, chances are, you're in for it. the s2000 is basically as safe as a vert can get in a rollover, with the hoops, and super strong window frame

it would be basically impossible to keep yourself bent over in a rollover what with g forces and gravity.

unless you track your car, a rollover is extremely rare, just throw it in the pile of "things i hope dont happen"

Wow glad you're ok
Pretty much what I do is - in the case if I run an animal over I usually just make a donation to a local animal shelter, one time I ran over a raccoon - next week donated 200$.
