Google the safety ratings.

[QUOTE=canaris,Aug 29 2008, 03:35 AM]Don't want to kill the atmosphere, but I doubt the people that didnt make it out of an S2000 accident came here to post "rolled it and got killed, can I get my turbo out of the car?"

Yes but, again, Google the safety ratings. They don't just pull these out of thin air. It's at least more meangingful than trying to gauge safety based on existing forum posts.
That's why I wrote another sentence after to part you quote

If you get thrown around in a normal car. Your head hits a metal plate above you... If your wearing a seat belt you shouldn't hit the roof of the car.

I know someone that rolled off a mountain. Rolled about 500 ft down and walked away without a scratch. He hard a hardtop though.
