I think most factory roll bar give owners a false sense of security. The problem is the A pillar collapse. You really need a full roll cage to help with a roll over but I will take a subpar roll bar vs no roll bar.

Wonder if that would have made a difference, based on looking at the roof collapse, it looks like it could have helped.
