Unprotected skulls and roll bars do not mix well at all.
Having said that, I agree with all that has been said about the tragic loss of life, the stupidity of driving a Cobra drunk and the appalling callousness of the driver.

over here in aust we must use headrest that should in theory stop your head coming into contact with the roll bar . saying that a lot of people remove them after the car has been engineered and on the road .
