You would have to have a pretty pricey cage to resist the directional impact that car took. Even with door bars and a dash bar that's a really low and weird angle.
You are 100% right, this has nothing to do with a roll over. Luckily didn't happened. You have more chance to get other type of accidents, example like this, then a roll on track. So it has to do a lot more with common accidents. Hitting barrier other cars etc.

Since this happened with me, i am really against a lesser designed cages. So this 4 point and roll bars... i don't trust them anymore.
Hopefully i will never be find right on this.

I have seen some pretty beat up Neons and Honda's racing with bolt in cages and they have done their job.
