Okay, so they were all wearing their seatbelts and they were fine. I know if it was me, and I had to fall 30' inside a vehicle I'd rather land right-side up and let the impact be absorbed by my ass and the seat cushion than land upside down and have the top of my head take the blow, even if the roof didn't collapse.

Here's another thing. These were all new cars built to modern safety standards. What's the roof strength of an M37, M38 or M35? I'd say it's basically zero for a rag-top, and only very slightly better for a hard-top since the windshield frame isn't designed to carry any meaningful load.
