I think I agree, though I've only done it once, and wouldn't really want to try it again. My adventure involved leaving a tightly curved exit ramp going too fast. I slid sideways down into a wet grassy culvert, which started the roll. What stopped the roll was a heavy concrete wall with a pipe in it to drain water from the grassy ditch. Sort of the worst of both worlds, if you will. I describe my scramble to exit my smoking car somewhere else around here, but I was uninjured because I was belted, and the A, B and C roof posts did their job beautifully. When the wrecker pulled it (2003 Mazda Protege ES 4-door sedan) back onto its tires, I found that I could easily unlatch and relatch all four doors.
I am doubly blessed: that OP is as unscathed as I was, and that it looks like I can expect the same selfless heroism from my BRZ, if and when push comes to shove.
