I know of one fatality due to the roll bar mounting on a roadster punching 
through the floor because it was not above the frame. This was during a SCCA 
race; but the SCCA did not, to my knowledge, ever publicize the incident. 
There seems room for a "lessons learned" publication where safety is 
involved. In this instance, if I recall correctly, a modified axle snapped, 
the car flipped, the roll bar pushed through the floor and the drivers head 
was not protected.
