Anyone's 'factory rollbar' save their bacon?
 
Has anyone here either in racing or on the street know of an instance when the 'targa' bar actually came into "service", as in a serious rollover, etc.

Pics if any please.

if you are relying on the targa bar to save you in a rollover you are s.o.l., unless some giant grabs your targa and gently lays it down on the ground upside down, and even then it may not help that much.

I dont know how sturdy the 911 ones are but after seeing inside my 914 bar I sure wouldnt want to go upside down. i know the windshield frame would do nothing

I think when they say he had a roll bar they just mean the targa bar. Rather than a cabrolet.
