Oh I agree with you they aren't the best... but no way in hell I'm caging my car right now.
If there are any other options out there I'd like to know them.
Right now, if I flip my car my roof is more than likely going to cave in whether I have a harness bar or not. And if I flip my car I doubt I'll be conscious enough to try to "avoid" a roof caving in on me without a bar and if I am I don't lose consciousness I doubt I'll really have control over it anyways. Then again I have never rolled my car nor do I plan to... so what do I know?
Obviously a harness bar will hold me in place more so in an event of a rollover my body can't 'freely' move out of the way.
Then again there aren't too many cars that flip it in an HPDE1. Me being more secure in the car will help me control the car better theoretically. I'm not the one too push my car overboard when I know this is my DD right now on street tires... Yes there are unforeseen circumstances that could happen, but running a cage on the street is not the best thing either.
It's just bad in general.
I'd like to here examples of life stories of people getting seriously injured due to harness bars holding them during roof collapses or if you know of it occurring.
Also, evidence of roofs actually collapsing than just denting or 'tenting' on newer deemed to be more safe vehicles
