Any  thoughts about this? Does the three point harness allow the driver 
and  passenger to duck into the cabin in the unfortunate event of a flipover? 
A  roll bar would help, yes?

Any properly installed and properly worn three-point belt WILL allow that.  
"Rule of thumb" always used to be that the lap belt portion would be snug, 
while  one should be just able to fit a fist between the chest and the shoulder 
belt.  This is yet another argument in favor of the shoulder belt mount being 
high  enough, at least shoulder level or higher, as I recall.
