As long as it is meant for that vehicle

You can see in the post-pancake-flipping images that the bolt-in roll cage simply punched through the floor, completely failing in its duty.

Looked at the photos and looked like he only had a shitty paperclip thin roll bar.

uhh yeah, they also don't mention the brand of roll cage or show pictures of installation

if the contact pad was just barely big enough it would punch through


you ALSO fail to quote

Incredibly, neither the driver nor passenger were injured in the accident.
big factor, had either of them be injured then it would be cause for concern. but hey guess what It technically did not fail its duty since both people survived unharmed

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.

If OP wants to get a bolt in roll cage for the wrong car, and it fits in with little to no modifications and does not fit in a way that increases chances of harm then he will be safer than if he had no cage at all.
