[Spridgets] roll bars

I posted this to the British Car Forum for a giggle, but I'm getting no
responses.  So lets try the ultimate font of Spridget knowledge:

I'm in the process of installing a roll bar in Bugsy. I'm bolting it in rather
that welding. This is the type of bar that is supported by large steel "feet"
at the end of short angled legs that attach to the main hoop, bolted atop the
wheel wells. The hoop legs end on the shelf just above the floor. Large
backing plates will be used beneath each attachment point.

Has anyone had experience with a roll bar that actually got rolled? Did it
fail? How did it fail?
(more paranoia ahead of the Missouri drive next year)

Thanks,
Glen Byrns
