Single hoop:

Has someone in the US been killed with only a single hoop bar in a Cobra, or is it people making more rules up?

Single hoop roll bars have to made strong enough to withstand a lot, and located to a strong area of the car, I dont know about an original, but the Almac cars here would be stronger than an original car going by where the original bar is mounted - I would guess!
The height requirement is 2" above your helmet in NZ.

Two single hoop roll bars look pathetic and in a roll situation may not improve safety for the driver on the track, on the road with a passenger I am sure that would be a good idea and if something went wrong at least you have done something to prevent it!

Formula Fords, 5000 and other single seat cars have only a single hoop.
I have a friend with a Physics degree who builds aeroplanes cars etc and he questions the lawmakers for their reasoning behind implementing new rules.
