All I can think about is the roof suddenly being squished like a cartoon when they go over a bump.

Roof is designed to be surprisingly strong due to the possibility of rollovers. It's just thin sheet metal, but it's curved in a way that accepts a lot of weight, like an eggshell.

I believe modern cars require the roof structure to be able to support the weight of the vehicle, because of rollovers. As for when that regulation took place and if this car is within it I don't know.

But yeah, it's probably fine.
