Re: light rollover??? (mitmaks)
That's funny because I thought the same thing about that yesterday. If this is the red one, I'm surprised how well the windshield stayed in tact as far as collapsing.

Re: light rollover??? (Utilitarian)
the windshield is made to stay in tact in a rollover... there have been many other images of s2000's being rolled... and hardly will you see the windshield collapsed...

tempered glass...
puts a tensile stress on the inside portion of the glass with a compressive stress on the outside. in brittle materials, cracks propagate rapidly in tension (inside) and have difficult in compression, since the compressive force is trying to close the crack tip....
there's your dose of materials science 101 for the day

Interesting. I've just had these mental images of the whole assembly folding downward. Basically, I guess they are more rigid than I had presumed.
