Is it rare for a passenger in a rollover car accident to not have any neck pain or injury?

On Monday night I was a passenger in a car accident. We were in a Chrysler caravan (which tend to rollover easily in a car accident) and my friend dozed off for a split second and over corrected, making us rollover two or three times into the side of the road, which was a lot lower than pavement. Remarkably, none of us were hurt and we didn’t suffer any neck injuries. We were able to crawl out of the back of the van pretty easily. Seatbelt definitely saved my life, and I think my short stature definitely prevented any head trauma or leg injuries.

But how rare is it that I don’t have any neck strain? The next day I was able to go to work and people were shocked I had been in a rollover crash the night before.
