roll bar

Flip crash cage

A roll bar is a metal bar or frame installed in a vehicle—typically a convertible, race car, or off-road vehicle—to protect occupants if the vehicle rolls over.

The structure absorbs impact and prevents the roof from collapsing: The roll bar saved his life when the Jeep flipped.

A roll cage is a more complete version surrounding the entire cabin.
