A little devil's advocate. FFR was aware of the need for passenger rollover protection as evidenced by their offering the option. FFR sells the kit with a passenger seat and belts, but no rollbar. Even FFR makes it clear that the car isn't intended as an exact reproduction, so the "not on an original" argument is not valid. FFR has widely publicized a video of one of the company owners rolling one of their cars, so they are quite obviously aware of the potential. The list goes on...

EDIT: Not intending to pick on FFR, the same applies to pretty much all cobras built since 1970.
