Good point! Sadly, no one.

another thing is that people's expectations are so varied: someone in shape and experienced some track time will walk away easy.

create your own safety; drive slow, its only survival on the street.
You mean drive cautiously and defensively. Driving too slow is actually the #1 leading cause of accidents here in TX. People tend to not pay attention and do dumb stuff when they drive too slow.

s2k is definately safe. a buddy of mine got into an accident where he rolled over twice and came out of the car without a scratch. his older brother was a little sore, but it could have been much worse.

I crashed mine at 125mph and walked away only slightly sore. Got really lucky it was mostly side impact brushing along things, if it were have been head on i would have been dead, the car held up very well though and you would have never known i was going over 100 when it was wrecked. I'm already trying to find another one to buy 2 weeks later... the S is an amazing car and i will drive my next one more carefully.

Glad you came out OK. That kind of speed is usually fatal. You are very lucky.

That looks like a Very Hard Roll Over.

How Fast were you going
