integrated roll cage

integrated roll cage
The cage or framing of the car serves the dual purpose of protecting the passenger while also creating a place to hang all the car's components -- engine, steering, sheet metal, etc. An integrated roll cage is one that is claimed to be especially safe and designed to protect the passenger in the case that the car rolls. It is called integrated because it is part and parcel of the overall framing for the car's components and thus sturdier.
