On this same note I had a good friend get killed in a Jeep roll over because
he was ejected and the Jeep rolled over him. I am a firm believer is seat
belts.

Mike -
Please reconsider not wearing belts in the Roadster, rollbar or no.
I think
your chances of living if ejected in any type of accident are near
nill. In
MOST accidents you are likely to have, I believe you'd be far better
off
with belts, better yet with a harness, and staying in the car.
