Back in the day, when I was a regular instructor at BMW CCA driver's schools, roll over's were not that uncommon. Perhaps one in every 3-4 days of school time, (each one with over 120 participants). But a lot of the drivers' schools I worked were at former Bridgehampton Race circuit, and as a track surrounded by sand, going off was often a BIG problem. I must say in 15 years of participation, I only saw one minor injury, and that was during a rollover, (the instructor/passenger grabbed the roof through the open window as the car rolled, and broke a finger).
