If you truly care about your passenger(s), and being prepared for the other guy, then drive a new BMW, Mercedes, or whatever brand you prefer. One or two roll bars will not help anyone in a rear, front or side impact, which are the most likely accident types. No ABS, no air bags, you're kidding yourself. But if it helps you sleep at night, then it's worth something. Right?
Personally, I'd be more worried about stepping off street curbs, and getting hit by cars or buses as pedestrians. Even more worrisome is that our nation's school buses, which transport our children, have no seats belts or restraints. And there are more school bus accidents every year than accidents in Cobras.
