^ That's what I thought too. Roll cage and roll bar are two different animals. Just the bar alone isn't as bad... I guess.

Anyways, out of all the people that seem to have those bars, i'm surprised I can only find one that went through a bad roll-over. The original thread is on here somewhere but I can't find it. The driver came out relatively unscathed too if I can remember. I wish there were more examples out there to go by though. Someone said that bar he had was a safety 21, which is made out of steel instead of chromoly which is what cusco make theirs from. I don't know if that's true, just something I heard.

The real killer of the car was it was on its side against a tree I don't believe it rolled but when they pulled it up the mountain instead of rolling towards the wheels they rolled it upside down and pulled it upside down up the mountain. I know this because I was the second car behind Lee, and watched them pull it up. And if I recall His confusion was caused from his head hitting the bar, other than that his arm was messed up from what I remember.

Nobody intends on having an accident, but if you want to go the Cusco route I can get it for you.
