All the talk about safety is OK, I believe in being safe, but I owned a rag top '78 MG Midget back in the early eighties and turned it over one night. I was injured, but even with the car sliding on and coming to rest on it's top the convertable top frame only colapsed about 2-3". Most of my injury was on my left arm where the car slid on it's top and my arm was between the rag top and the ground. I also wasn't wearing a seat belt which probably contibuted to part of the injury to my arm.
