Hm.  I'm all for safety equipment, but the part of this that I don't
understand is how the fiberglass top improves safety.  It's useless in
a rollover (that's why you've got a rollcage).  it would seem to me
that it's just getting in the way, requiring a lower height of
rollcage (so it clears the top) and thus imposing a lower height
restriction on the driver.  So how is a rollcage + fiberglass top
safer than just a rollcage?
