I have many off-airport landings albeit under different circumstances - in flying sailplanes cross-country. I have always landed in fields with no mishap; although I agree with Smokey's assessment that most RV's tend to end up upside down. For me the difference lies in the wingspan. Our sailplanes are 49 feet and as such anything on the side of the road is cause for a groundloop. A good friend broke his sailplane twice in this scenario. That said I now consider roads as options while flying my Decathlon and will do so when my Rocket is in the air. Just more info.
