Sit/sleep in over cab while driving?
Is it safe to relax in the over cab area of a class c while driving? Aside from the obvious (laws, fly out the front in a wreck, fall down etc) is there any danger? Such as the roof collapsing or some...

Long story here, but take it as you will.
When I was younger (a lot younger) I worked at a place that sold RVs. Later at both Thetford and Chrysler. I was long convinced that I wanted either a C or a TC so children (yes, they were always part of the plan) could ride up there and see out the front window. Then, for a short time, I did some data analysis for NHSTA. I got dragged into the RVs while there. So, I looked. There were a goodly number of cases where both Cs and TCs rolled over and that cab over area was crushed flat. I did a very quick look at the compiled data. If there were occupants in the overhead, then there were a preponderance of fatals in the data. I changed that plan as much as I did remember the picture of little smiling faces looking forward.
