Dean,

Have you "been there, done that?"

Are are you specu-pontificating?

You can check my gallery for the roll bars. We (my instructor in the passenger seat and I in the driver's) flipped at over 100 mph. Hard. Took branches out of trees 3-6 feet off the ground. The roll bars worked.

Do I detect a warmth in the atmosphere in your comments? Forgive me, but they don't seem based on any relevant experience.

The E-M bars worked just fine. Dunno what other evidence to present....

Check my gallery for a few shots of the suspension - the body, wheels etc were ruined, along with one of my arms (that's the wrist restraint story), otherwise not a scratch on either of us.

Just so you know...

Tom
