[Spridgets] bugeye roll bar

[Robert Duquette]

I rolled a rollbarless 'B over an embankment.  The unbelted passengers 
dropped out and rolled down the hill and I got thrown over into the 
passenger seat.  Believe me, I did not duck ... I had no control over where 
I was going to be.  It just worked out right.

I witnessed a Bugeye rollover (no roll bar).  It was not pretty but both 
driver and passanger survived relativly uninjured.  The passanger was thrown 
clear and the driver ducked into the newly vacated passanger seat.
