At least the birdcage (roof/pillars) held together well. The occupants were probably OK.

scuse my ignorance, but how exactly do you roll a C6 on a test drive? (this is asked without sarcasm)
I assume driver must have hit something, probably side on? because to roll these cars seems virtually impossible without a collision of some sort? or unless you are going 100mph+ and just completely lose control on a very uneven road surface?

This is a lesson for all women who think it is ok to put their feet on the dashboard.

Airbags are designed to go off in a frontal collision and not a roll over. The airbag in my Acura Legend did not deploy when my brother rolled it back in '92.
