Take these steps, they will help.
1. Go to Building Inspectors in your area and see what you need to be in code with city regulations
2. Obtain the proper permits.
3.Take a photograph of all four sides of the deck.
4. Measure the outside of the floor all around.
5. Do you want a standard Vee or a pyramid effect.
6. Decide what type of roof covering you want, tar shingles, galvanized steel.
7. Go to Lowes or Home Depot nearest you. Not only will they custom design a roof for you but also show you the proper wood for your frame and the right size of nails.
8. Don't be macho buy safety equipment like gloves, glasses, hard hat.
It's good for a person the do what they can around the house, because the work will make the property "HOME"

Well, not knowing what your home looks like... which way the roof runs, for example... its kinda hard for us to spell out exactly what you need.
SteelD* offered some good advice, but I would wait on that building permit until I was actually ready to build... as they often have time limits on them. So, do your homework first, then apply for the permit when you are ready to build.
I would suggest that you visit your local building supply or hardware store, and check out the plan books that are available for this sort of thing. Home Depot, Lowes...even Ace Hardware stores all carry a collection of these books. You have a lot of options to choose from.
If your existing home roof slopes toward the deck... I would run the new deck roof from just under the current peak... not level with it. Other considerations are what to cover the roof with... as mentioned above in other Answers... you have the choice of shingles, steel, tile, etc... Are you going to recover the old roof too, so the whole thing matches? or Are you going to try to find a roof cover that matches your existing roof?
If your deck is adjacent to the end of the home, that is the roof looks like an 'A' shape, then I would start the deck roof below the overhang.... this way you will not have to try to mate to the existing roofing.
You see? there are just too many variables here, for us to give you a simple picture, without more information from you.
Good Luck!

I don't know why but i don't find this story funny... as for ur question, i think it's possible to survive a fall in some cases but if it's a really tall building then the chances are really less.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/GBSWQ
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

My company builds decks and gazebos...
My best advise is go to your county's building permit department and ask them for the diagrams on the roof framing you need that is up to the codes necessary to pass through your county...
Its free...

forget what they said go see if your comunity requiers permits then when you start the actuall labor you need to suppor with 4x4's ever 4 feet six feet if necesary to avoid a door you need to reinforce from your house to the front with 2x6's every two feet make the rest of the rook framing as light wait as posible and i sugest a tin roof to save you weight and a lot of trouble good luck
