I think this (below) hits it on the head.  Also noted that it is no 
standupcomic.com.  Maybe he was just tryo\ing to put a comical spin on it 
for effect.  I was thinking the guy was quite the a-hole while 
reading.  The way he was demeaning the locals instead of enjoying meeting 
different people and learning about the US.  Isn't that why they went on 
such a trip?

Interesting in the post-rollover photo how the passenger side front roof is 
all caved in, but the door frame is still intact.  Ah, now I remember they 
had a big bin up on the luggage rack.  That is something to think about for 
putting stuff up there right over your head.  If you roll, the frame of the 
vehicle is not able to prevent that stuff from caving in the roof on 
you.  Maybe we can learn something valuable from this.
