Autopower Industries - Roll Bars
They are using one of those bolt in roll bar... Not exactly what I would call "shitty paperclip thin roll bar".. If I HAD to get a bolt in bar, I would much rather take a SCCA and Nasa legal AutoPower roll bar over a JDM TyTe Cusco baller bar..

roll cages are not there to guarantee that in any type of accident the CAR will survive. It is there the guarantee the increased rate of survival of the passengers.

I never said or even implied they were injured, so I don't see how I fail? I'm sure they at least had helmets which probably helped increase their survival rate tremendously.. I don't see many people driving on the streets wearing Snell rated helmets.. There is no guarantee that any (even weld in) roll cage will increase the rate of survival in a street setup.. If you aren't using a harness, proper roll cage padding, a helmet, even proper seats, the roll cage can injure you..
Besides, this is a full front flip, not just a side roll over.. I'm sure most bolt in roll bars would fail a crash like this.. And I doubt many people weld in a larger base plate before bolting in a roll bar..
