My seats are in front of the hoop.

The bar/cage attaches to the strongest points in the car, like the front subframe and torque boxes, and creates a safety capsule to a point. Many new cars are designed like this, especially the little smart cars etc. I'm sure much of that was drawn from racing and f1 especially, they seem to be the cutting edge with driver protection in an accident from what I gather.
