The intention of it is to keep the body of the car from collapsing, particularly in a roll over. So, for the most part it will help protect you better than the crash bars inside the doors and the overall structure of the car. That's not to say that you will not get injured though. So, don't go robbing a bank and getting into any high speed chases.

Also if you use a harness with the roll bar/cage, otherwise you will get injured a lot more with a roll bar/cage than without one. This is because you will be bouncing around inside and not being properly restrained to one position.

it should make it much safer, but i did know a kid that hit a tree, and the bar snapped and almost stabbed him!!! and another kid i know got hit and the car folded and they couldnt get out, so they had to cut the cage.
but i know i would rather have it then not.

Chromoly is stronger than mild steel but they are both equal in strength when you have a cage built. The reason is you use a thinner wall thickness of tube to help with the weight savings yet still hold the same strength as you would with a thicker mild steel bar.
