Roll bars have a very specific but high safety value.
After having spent the vacation money on a new overdrive transmission, it also
helps to have a roll bar installed. That way you can stand on the other side
of the car from your wife and, unless she is a pole vaulter, she will be
unable to leap over the roll bar to get at you.
Other than that hopefully rare occasion, unless bolted through to the frame,
in cockpit roll bars are mostly cosmetic.

I'm shopping for a TR6. Are roll bars really safety equipment or are
they added for looks? Anyone know of a case where a driver or
passenger has been saved by a roll bar?
