not to mention increases risk of severe head injury or death if you're not wearing a helmet?

If you're going to drive it on the street, you may want to look into something custom... something that reinforces the existing structure and whatnot without having to put pipes near your unprotected head.

p.s. you'd have to be driving awefully insane to roll the car over.

In most cases a roll bar would not void the insurance on a car unless it was impropperly made and/or installed.

Head injury is an issue with non-fixed back seats and impropperly positioned bars.
not to mention, there is rollbar padding designed to deflect most of the impact with or without a helmet.
besides, if you get into a wreck where your head hitting a bar is a serious enough issue to cause death or serious head injury, chances are it would be a release from your state after the wreck WITHOUT the bar there to kill you! ;) :P

and yes, to roll a Focus you pretty much have to drive like a complete Jack-ass or get so out of control at such a high speed that you get sideways, plant your side tires and launch into a flip... on or off the track, this is a SERIOUS stretch of the dynamics of a Focus with or without power....

again, if you are worried about this, propper driver training will do more to save your life than a cage or roll bar.
