Spit safety question

[Chip Mautz <clmautz@yahoo.com>]

I know a guy who, while a teenager, rolled a Spitfire4.  The
windshield surround supported the weight of the car, acting like a
'roll bar'.  He and a friend were both able to crawl out, and, while
upset at rolling the car, emerged unscathed.  

Does anybody know if the later Spitfire's have that type of structural
integrity around the windshield frame?  I'm wondering how my MKIV
would fare.

Although, it will get a roll bar, one of these days (or, RSN as we
say...)
