LOL yes - also a good way to deploy your air-bags hehehe

Actually, head-over-heels is a very nasty roll, with considerable damage to the front and A-pillars (the side of the windshield, that hold up the front of the roof), and also can cause injuries.

If you're going to roll-over, do it on the side :)
