That's why they're are called "brush guards" and not "roll cages". They are not designed to withstand a rollover. Although many members have rolled their buggies with minimal damage.

I have not rolled my Reaction 150 but I did put it on it's side once doing clockwise 180's. I only do counterclockwise now.
The brush guard on the side I landed on was a little bent. Pushed it back on the wheels and kept going. The previous comment that the bars are to keep brush off you and are not "roll bars" is correct.
