Style Bars are useful







The reason for the incident: A 6 foot 4x4 in the middle of the road just over a small hill. Once I cleared the hill I could see it but I was already on top of it. I hit it and from there on I couldn't control the car at all. I went across the road and hit the dirt sideways which rolled me. I've seen the debates and heard that the style bars are cosmetic and useless. This isn't necessarily true. I decided to test them and see if they really worked and the test was a positive success. I walked away with nothing more than a few bumps and bruises. The outside plastic came off the driver's side (where I was) but it wasn't even bent and was holding the entire weight of the rear of the car as the seat belt held me a couple inches off the ground. Now if they could just create a way to get out without landing on your head when you undo the seat belt. I didn't have a passenger at the time.The reason for the incident: A 6 foot 4x4 in the middle of the road just over a small hill.
