[Spridgets] roll bars

[WFO Herb]

Don't know if this counts, but I rolled a CJ5 32 years back.  Bar held
up just fine; 3 roll-overs.  Mother of 4.2 lb Son did also.  Boy was a
couple months early.  He turned 32 yesterday.

Use as large (area permitting) steel plate as possible; spreads stress
out over larger area.

Just my two-cents.
