I’m not intending to use the car on track days wearing a crash helmet so would be surprised if the roll bar is so close to ones head as to be a safety concern.
I have to say I’ve never previously considered the need for a roll bar in a convertible ... however, after my recent “prince Phillip” incident its delusional to think that by careful driving you can avoid the possibility to roll a car. If I had seen the car pull out (I didn’t) I may have tried to cut around it and would most likely ended up going down a steep bank and likely rolling the vehicle.
I accept a 3-point inertia reel seat belt is not as good as a 4 or 5 point race harness... it surely a std seat belt and roll bar is safer than nothing at all?
