The expression refers to heads rolling along the ground after being cut off. And, no, I haven't seen it. But if you had lived through the French Revolution in Paris you could see heads roll every day.

It's a historical reference and is meant to mean that the offence for which the heads will roll is so heinous that had we been living a few hundred years ago, the offender would have faced the axe ... another modern usage of a historical reference.

Yes, in the movie The Omen, a head certainly rolled after being chopped off by a pane of glass.

Actually yes, I had a friend who was a keen motor biker and I was walking down the street with a group of friends when he sped past us and turned his head to wave. Unfortunately he didn't see a lorry that had stopped at traffic lights and he hit the back of the truck forcing his bike and his body under the tail-end taking his head straight off, we watched in horror as it just bounced along the street.

Expression used in business meaning people will lose their jobs for making serious mistakes. It's a reference to the use of the Guillotine during the French Revolution.
I've never seen a Guillotine in use, but I've seen plenty of people loose their jobs.
