there is video of someone nearly rolling one of these without a helmet on. Ill have to see if I can find it. Even if its threaded in, its certainly not a crash cage and is going to have weak points that would give way in the incident of a roll-over. If I had to guess, I would assume that Morgan never tested roll over crashes in these cars and the hoops are more of an appearance of safety, rather than real safety. Total speculation, but probably a strong thing to wager on.
