You tried to dismiss it like it doesn't matter. It does matter. Unless I misunderstood you.

If so, my apologies. For what its worth, the regular Bronco would probably fail just as horribly as the Jeep.
Nope. I was pointing out comparing a Wranglers roof strength against a fixed roof vehicle isn’t an apples to apples comparison.

Its not. But its still relevant. Generally speaking fixed roof vehicles are safer in a roll over.

Also, lighter vehicles are also safer. Note that the federal reg doesn't apply to vehicles with a GVW over 6000 lbs.

I know it’s relevant, I never said it wasn’t. I simply said taking a crash of a Bronco Sport snd saying, “a Wrangler should be just as good,” is lazy and ignorant.

I don't really even do rollercoasters any more. This isn't for me. I enjoy a good scenic view, but not mere feet from the edge of a cliff.

More like mere inches in some spots. LOL
This. Even passing on blue (medium difficulty) rated trails can put you within 3-6 inches of the edge in certain stretches and depending on what vehicles are involved. Passing a Ford Raptor on the first stretch of engineer can even be a bit of a pucker.
