so with that being said, why would someone even buy that style if the most important part is removable?



lol; i kno, i have heard. Id like to have it be "functional" tho.
The most important part is the main hoop. That crossbar is in place to keep the main hoop from collapsing or spidering if you land on your roof and it also serves as a place to attach 5-pt harnesses to. I am not a mechanical engineer but I would guess that all of the bars used in a roll bar or cage kit are geometrically positioned to distribute the forces involved in an accident in such a way that it will minimize injury.

People buy those styles for either looks or if a basic bar is required for some other racing class. Who knows.
