I got to poke at my roof while removing the antenna a few months back. It's definitely just a very flimsy sheet of a aluminum, and easily dinged/bent. There might be something else crash-related between the external roof panel and the interior roof liner, no idea really, didn't look, but most likely something else (e.g. the pillars, and the rear where the trunk lid comes close) accounts for crash safety. The stock outer roof itself wouldn't really protect you from jack.
