From the accident I was in they are plenty strong enough. 70mph and rolled 5
or six times. Roof fiberglass separated but the driver and passenger area
were fine. ALL the glass was out so I unbuckled and went out the front
window. Injuries were a small cut on the head and one on the leg from the
flying glass. Walked away. Amazing.

Cheers,

the inner members look like? Are we talking about some muscle or what?
