The only way you can outjump a rolling tractor is if you have transplanted on an aircraft ejection seat.
The non rollbar survivers just didn't have vital parts crushed. They are found between tires & fenders, on the platform or still in the seat a with broken backs.
The attitude of "it will never happen to be" is pure foolishness & denial of your mortality. I've seen accidents at 20mph which was too fast for road conditions at the time. What makes you so smart so you can avoid all mishaps?

Ever see the look of the family members face who found Dad,Mom,son or daughter ripped to shreds or staggering/dragging to the house missing limbs?
