I witnessed a Bugeye rollover (no roll bar). It was not pretty but both driver
and passanger survived relativly uninjured. The passanger was thrown clear and
the driver ducked into the newly vacated passanger seat.
When we rebuilt the replacement car the rollbar was fabed up by a specialist
for a few hundred bucks.
I put one in the Green Meanie (Spridget).
