So as more information comes out about the Bronco, the belief that the "Boron Steel Roll Cage" will protect us seems to be turning into it's really just like the "Sports Bar" on the Jeep JL Wrangler. Seeing this latest Trail Turn Bronco video that has a beefy Roll Cage, you have to wonder how much protection our family and friends will really have in a rollover with the stock factory "Boron Steel Sports Bar"
With the Bronco "roll cage / sports bar" made from boron steel, it seems it would be designed with more than enough strength to stand-up the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Real Owners having real rollovers and Real Lawyers suing Ford for said accident. Yet the test rigs need more protection? For those of you that say the test drivers will push things to the limit, what about the uninformed average customer who will push things to the limit as they don't know any better or they have had one beer to many?
This pic is from the second video at this thread where you can see the additional criss-cross roll cage Ford has added to the test rigs.

Example of the Jeep Wrangler "Sports Bar", not Roll Cage:
Difference between a "Roll Cage" and a "Sports Bar"?
What will the rollbar (sportsbar) do in a rollover?
