This a photo of a Boxster Spec that flipped over at about 80 mph at Willow Springs Raceway in SoCal. And this is a car with a full roll cage.

Hmm, I'm not a real engineer, so I can't speak to the difference in static weight vs the dynamic force created in a roll. Do you think if my fat 200 lb ass stood on it it would bend? What about my fat 200 lb ass + an extra few hundred cheeseburgers? I know this is all speculation at this point -- but I'm hopeful based on the post regarding the earth mover trying to crush it.
The other question is, even if it won't bend like my will to live, will it be enough force to have the windshield itself tap out?

It's not a unique idea, in fact it's a blatantly stolen one, though I think I'll be the first person attempting it with a convertible..
. I'll announce it and post pictures next week. But if you really really want to know in the interim, take a gander at the user account names posting in the marketplace looking for an RTS for a hint.. I might be beating Brock to the punch, at least on the 986 platform.
