If they do, it's negligible. There was a commercial quite a while ago with a Saab rolling down a large ravine. Out popped some Swedish guys who rolled the Saab over, sanded off the roof, took out some dents, painted it and continued on their merry way. Ironically, this event occurred in real life a few years back in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. No Swedes, mind you, but a Saab with a sunroof rolled down an embankment. After it was rolled over, the driver drove the car away. The only caution for roll-overs would be the racing harnesses which prevent the driver from leaning over in the case of a rollover and the supports failing or an elk or deer flying through the windshield.
