Here are a couple of pictures of my buggy I decided to make it a single seater. I also raised the front bar 3 inches and added bars up to it then added one more back bar for more head room. With a helment I have about 4 or 5 inches of head room now.

Curt is absoloutly right! Geometricaly designed, you want support at the points that will come in contact if you roll. Then from there you want to figure out where the force (kinetic energy) will transfer to next, then support that if needed. Just my thoughts.
