What happens if one of those things rolls over and lands on its roof? Is there some kind of structural support or does the entire cabin collapse in on itself?

They hadn't invented safety yet.

I grew up in a town where large families were common so these (and the Chevrolet/Oldsmobile flavours) were everywhere in the early 1990s and completely gone by the late 1990s. I have to assume they were of poor quality even by old GM standards, or the kids who rode them in elementary school would have taken them as cheap first cars in high school.

It was the 90s. If your parents had a Ford Explorer or an Isuzu Trooper, you were living on borrowed time.
