I rolled a rollbarless 'B over an embankment.  The unbelted passengers 
dropped out and rolled down the hill and I got thrown over into the 
passenger seat.  Believe me, I did not duck ... I had no control over where

driver and passanger survived relativly uninjured.  The passanger was thrown 
clear and the driver ducked into the newly vacated passanger seat.
