tinydog speculated:

I think #1 is the overriding reason for installing a roll-bar. 

Outside of the track, the only vehicles I see upside down over are SUV's, 
people on cell phones, and those driven by teens.

Yeah, Kirk=good.

A roll bar does several things:
1.  Looks cool.  Makes the car look sporty.
2.  Stiffens the body.  Good on Spridgets and Miatas, for sure.
3.  Provides protection.  You don't want to roll over.  You REALLY
don't want to roll over without a bar in a convertible.

There is a video of a guy racing a Triumph that looses an axle at
speed.  His roll bar functioned properly.  I think he walked away.
Someone can post a link.
