I also don't think that bugs are deathtraps. My anecdotal evidence is me being a careless 17 year old, driving the 1968 family bug and, by not paying attention to the road, leaving the road, taking it up an embankment and rolling it. I came out OK, and the bug still had many years of service left in it. I even thought it's reliability was pretty decent, it served me well in college. The only reason I got rid of it was that Pennsylvania wouldn't inspect it as it's floor had pretty much rusted out.
I could have had my own Flinstonemobile!
