omg.. if you rolled with the top down .. your neck would break or something...
I flipped my s2000 the long way, and it also twisted while it was flipping. It was totaled but the angle from the top of the windshield to the rear of the trunk pretty much make the rollbars useless unless it lands a particular way. I unfortunately had to be airlifted for head injuries, but this was due to the recall of the seatbelt lock that hadnt been fixed (my seatbelt didnt lock fast enough) and i hit my head on the steering wheel. Other than that I was VERY VERY pleased with the protection. And the seatbelt thing is not common. I plan on buying another S2000 very soon. ( this accident was about 2 years ago.)

Your crash was almost 2 years ago and you're sig says you're not 18 yet?? Please tell me your parents are not buying you these S2000's. I'm only 25 and this is making me feel old as dirt saying this, but looking back on it now I have no doubt I'd be dead right now if I had a S2000 when I was 16. I was driving a '91 Accord and did enough stupid stuff with that. Your parents need to lay off the ing crack pipe and start looking out for you.
