Sports Bar, Roll cage, Really? It's not a NASCAR built racing machine. Good, call it a sports bar, .I'll have to look if it's tied to frame. But it does go forward behind windshield. It does extend back over rear passengers. It is much safer than a convertible with out a (Sports Cage)... But guess what it works. Yes you roll it at 50 60 or 70 your could be in serious trouble. It slid in to concrete barriers at end of test and IIHS made no issue of intrusion. The point is it flipped on its side, The IIHS makes no mention of the (Sports Bar) in the press release that I saw. I guess once i read it, Article says tipped over not roll over....(my bad). it is not a totally unexpected in an accident in a vehicle with a higher center of gravity. If you look JK nearly had same result. Stiffer JL chassis just tipped it over edge. I feel safer in my Wrangler than I ever did in my Camaro.. Sorry to see it tipped over. But I'll be lots of people will flip out about it...
