Whew! Looks like half the rollbar was crushed.

Using the term "rollbar" is too literal an interpretation of the structure IMO. In other words, I put a rollbar in my Targa.

I think it's called a "Targa bar" not a roll bar.

The question was about safety, not nomenclature. Judging from the Leland's picture, the 'targa bar" appears somewhat safe.
