Judging just from those pictures and without knowing any further details
I think I'd be rather more concerned with the possible consequences
of the roof blowing off in a high wind than with it falling on my
head.


The roof is bolted to two posts on the right (which you probably can't
see) which are 150mm square and buried deep in the ground and attached
to three one metre high timber retaining walls. The other side of the
roof is bolted to five posts.
When the doors are shut they are very rigid, and will hold the roof
down.
Besides there are never any strong winds around here. It's very
sheltered.
