I guess I will throw my hat in the ring when it comes to street cars with a roll bars or a roll cage. Let me first start by saying I have no experience at all with roll bars or roll cages nor have I ever seen a vehicle in any type of accident that was equipped with such a device. I have however been on the scene of somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-250 motor vehicle accidents and about 25 of those being fatal.
I have seen injuries in person ranging from cuts and bruises to complete decapitation, and I can assure you of one thing. It is impossible to predict what injuries may or may not occur during an accident. I always see people on these forums with the same argument about roll bars and head injuries. It is possible you could suffer severe head trauma from a roll cage that you may not have suffered if the vehicle did not have said cage. On the flip side of that same coin, it is just as possible you may be involved in a violent roll over accident in which that roll bar may have saved your life. It's a coin toss of how effective or how much damage a roll cage would be in the event of a street collision.
