I know you other guys might not want to hear this, but technically any vehicle with an unpadded roll bar is really a race car only.

Whether you hit your head on the bar after a frontal collision, or an innocent party in a rearender,
it would be similar to being struck with a piece of waterpipe in a fight.

Please, all remember that.

Have you ever struck your head on a concrete floor lying a car?
