How much can the rollbar hold?

[crggdry]

I have a 1995 coupe and have been asked to drive it in a parade with the targa off and with a young girl or two riding seated on the rollbar. How much weight is it designed to hold? Really not wanting to have it dent or collapse!
Thanks!;help

The weight of a couple people won't dent or collapse the halo bar, however you may want to put a cloth or something under them so they don't scratch it.

I hope of could support the vette upside down!

How young? I mean if it is a couple of kids, I would think so. OTOH, if it is a couple of 18yos, maybe not. Maybe you should put them in my car. otfl

Whoops!
What I meant to say was: I hope it could support the Vette upside down!

ROLLOVER

It should hold the entire weight of the car plus impact in a rollover accident, I don't think you need to worry
Do put a pad up there,

Y'all missing something here.

Yep the steel structure will hold, I'm not sure how the panels will react at the adhesive joints. This was design for a rollover where the panels will just get destroyed. Place a large amount of weight in the middle and it may deflect enough to stressing the joints.
