It can be a potential danger. Padding MAY help, but highly doubtful.

Just presenting another consideration that I thought of as I am considering a roll bar in my car as well.
Jed's correct...it is absolutely dangerous to put a cage in a street car...roll bar is fine but any bars from the main hoop down to the a-pillars can be deadly in an accident if your not wearing the proper safety gear, harnesses, helmet etc...
