roll cages

Protective vehicle bars

Roll cages are protective metal frameworks installed inside vehicles to prevent the roof from crushing during a rollover accident.

Standard in race cars and off-road vehicles, they form a skeletal cage around the passenger compartment: The roll cage saved his life when the truck flipped.

Some enthusiasts add aftermarket roll cages to street cars for safety or aesthetics.
