Any proper rollcage has to go across the roofline completely to be useful, so you will hit your head on a proper rollgage. A rollcage where you won't hit your head doesn't go across the roofline completely so it won't fully protect the driver in an accident. I own a supercar and it has no rollcage or harness, I wouldn't want one either.
are you sure about this ? if you have a harness and roll cage the chances ar youve also got bucket seats. instead of sitting between 30-60 centermetres off the floor a bucket will only be 15-20cm up, it also keep you fairly still and along with the harness will stop u from hiting your head on the fully welded roll cage ( never trust a bolt in. ) also not sure what supercar car you have with no roll cage ? but it must be either pre 1990 or american i gues because nearly all if not all modern super cars have a roll cage. i have a ford escort mrk2 ( not a super car but still fast ) that i have done alot of work to ( yes u could call it a race car ) but is still road legal, and i just looked i sit behind the top and side bars so no chance at all of hitting my head unless im going 100mph+ and go roof first into a lorry or tank lol. also i studied motorsport machanics for 3years so am fairly confident. ps even the jeep in this thread has a roll cage lol.
