Back in my High School, about 10 years ago, a High School Senior died in a car accident. This is exactly what happened, he was driving his Jeep, and it flipped over on a hill, he was thrown from it because he didn't wear a seat belt, and it rolled over onto him. He survived about 2 days in the hospital after that. If he was wearing a seat belt, the ROLL bars on that thing would have protected him while he was "trapped" in the Jeep.
