actually the seatbelts will retract and hold the driver/passenger in place. i know this because the radio shop by my house sent a + current to the airbag sensor underneath the radio and the airbags blew and the seatbelts retracted. about 2000.00 in repairs.

Even if the windshield collapses, the roll hoops will protect you. Worst-case, your head may get some scratches/scrapes on it, but it's a whole heck of a lot better than having your spine compressed like if you were in a Miata in the same situation.

Hey guys, if you see the picks of the white one that flipped the thread was called "dirve ending in me hanging upside down" Well that was me and my car. I must say it was the scariest time ive ever had in a car ever. I hope to god none of you experience this. The thing that concerns me is that when mine was rolled i had very little foward momentum maybe 5 mph,yet my winshield roll bar came down at least 4 inches which is alot consdering i wasnt really moving foward if you were to roll it at say 40mph an hour or so, i'm sorry to say god help you. who ever posted that smash bam crack post or whatever rolling a car is no joke i dont mean to be a dick but if you rolled your car you would NEVER post some kinda joke like that.
