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.


Cheers,
