Volvo 240's are quite durable and could probably handle something to that effect. I also have experience with the 850, and I must say that the car feels like it's been cast from a single block of steel. Planning on getting an S70 soon, which is basically just an updated 850, and it's quite sturdy. I'd say you're more likely to survive a roll in a Volvo than any other car, less the C70 convertible.
Also, I believe it is the 240 which claimed no passenger lives from 1988-1993, a five year period. This can be said of no other car. (I may have the model number and/or the years incorrect, but there's a model of Volvo car in which no one died for five years - something no other car company/model can claim).
