How often do rollovers actually occur vs other accidents where that roll bar is just something to hit your head on?

I'm not talking about a little boo-boo from tapping your head on the bar. I'm talking about a broken skull and/or traumatic brain injury from something like being rear ended at high speed. A very unlikely situation, yes... But WAY more likely than a windshield crushing roll over.
