Checking out one of the new sponsors, I found this:

Vehicle Tilter

Umm, wow! I'd be very nervous the first time I tried it (they do recommend removing the battery). It sure would come in handy, though.

Well, it's a simplistic assumption, but if you corner your car at close to 1g, you're already hitting the side loads that rolling the car 90 degrees gives. Simplistic because I'm not counting fore-aft weight transfer during cornering which changes the loads at each end.

You could also roll to put the PHR in tension, as buckling in compression would be the easiest to reach failure mode.
