Can grab handles interfere with the deployment of side-curtain airbags in case of an accident?

I don't know what year they started the side airbags in the rollbar. I have a 23 rubi and didn't see mention of it in the owners manual.

No, do not use grab handles in the area of side curtains.

You'll either prevent them from properly deploying or create flying shrapnel.
