>While I can not address the question, I have a funny quote about ROPS equipped MUTTS:

>One of our more learned members of the list was taking me on my first "Destructive trail ride last summer, when the going started to get a bit rough, I had my left hand firmly latched on to the pass anger safety grab bar, and my right hand was attempting to reduce the diameter of the top of the roll bar. Steve instructs me, in a calm and matter of fact voice: "take your hand off the roll bar, because WHEN we roll over, it WILL be ripped off<<G>"

>(We did all but roll over that night)
