From the accident I was in they are plenty strong enough. 70mph and rolled 5 or six times. Roof fiberglass separated but the driver and passenger area were fine. ALL the glass was out so I unbuckled and went out the front window. Injuries were a small cut on the head and one on the leg from the flying glass. Walked away. Amazing.
