Yes. I haven't actually seen it myself but a guy I know in THCI rolled his on a trail one day. He had a wagon and it slightly bent the top out of square. It was driven away but the repair, to fix it right, was about 25K.

Depends on what you mean by "survive"
Damage is certain. Safety of occupants is concern #1.
The roll cage structure on an H1 is not meant to act as a true rollcage.
I have seen the damage after rollover on a few Hummers and talked to some drivers who have rolled H1's first hand - the windshield A-pillar typically sustains damage and partially collapses, since the roll bars basically terminate at that point and the windshielf frame is the only thing holding thing at that point. In the interest of protecting driver and passengers, I had a reinforced cage fabricated to improve strength in that area of the roll cage on my open-top, as well as adding spreaders between the A, B and C pillar areas.
For some pictures of my cage, you can check it out here:

To do a full cage with true frame tie-ins, etc would be a more substantial project, and would be a lot of work and expense - the modifications I made are not meant to replace a full cage, but they give me a little more peace of mind when attempting especially gnarly stuff. If I roll, I fully expect the truck to sustain significant damage, but I think the passenger area will remain intact with relatively little incursion.
