Default s2k Rolled-Over bars

Do anybody know how safe the s2k is on a rolled over?

They are called roll bars and Honda designed this car to protect the occupants in an accident. The windshield frame was beefed up to serve as a roll bar and they added the roll bars behind the seats and then they tested them in actual roll overs to make sure that the design works. There have been several members that have rolled their cars and walked away from the accident.

My personal thought is that I doubt that you will find a safer convertible than this one.

Enjoy it,
Bob

Bob is right- the s2k is a very safe car. The roll hoops are real and are a structural part of the car- not just pieces of plastic jutting up from behind the seats.

yeah....I saw the rolled over bar on the right side when they were installing my system. It's pretty nice.
