it has actually been proven that they will, up to now I have seen/heard of 3 roll overs and the hoops have held up with nothing other than a few scrapes.

Ask this guy .....
How your Slingshot is registered in your state motorcycle/autocycle/auto determines the type of policy you can carry ....

Regardless, if WraithSS changes their mind, I would like to see pictures and dimensions of the roll hoops.

you raise an interesting question and I would like to know what if any testing is done, but I have to add that I dont see how the insurance carriers would ever know - even if you flipped do you think someone would show up to examine it and check this?
Since insurance companies hate to pay out a nickel.....if a sharp eyed adjuster notices it...you’re probably screwed...especially if you died....
Get this guy to test them....

If I died I dont think I would care much about what the adjuster noticed

no worries I knew you were just having fun, plus if my Sara chooses to have a party she will not need any extra insurance money - Filipinos know how to party even when there isnt money

WOW! She's a keeper for sure. Does she give party lessons?

I think a big part is being missed. These will not be mass produced. There is no trying to make a few bucks on these. After this initial set there won't be any more.
Since this is now the second time on this forum that I have tried to bring a product not of my own to this group. The first time being told by a forum vendor, " oh, we have something just like that coming out soon", which never happened mind you. Now this from forum vendors as well.
Needless to same I'm done. These will not be offered and I'll just keep the one off set. I'll let the the manufacturer know that there is lack of interest due to liability. Thanks for your time.
Like Ruptured Duck said earlier, I hope what I said did not come across in the wrong way also, I would hate to see a nice guy like you end up in a tough legal situation while trying to help out the community though.
If the company you are working with really wants to move forward with these, I would tell them to give a call and talk to these guys -

They make the most common aftermarket roll bars for Miata's and have been around for a long time. They also make roll bars for the newer Miata's and in that case, replace the current roll protection from Mazda like what you are describing. They might be able to give a better understanding of what is needed from a legal and safety aspect to make sure everything goes smooth.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Would still love to have one. Unfortunately with my products I'm stuck with the OE hoops.
Really want to see what you have. The ability to use the lower trim is great!
