I also wouldn't put much trust in bolt in roll bars, unless you know that they are actually attached to something solid.

In particular, factory seats are designed to fold over in a crash so that your spine doesn't become part of the crash structure. Fixed back seats and harnesses combined with sketchy roll bars is one of the worst combinations out there.

Edit: If you look closely at the below picture, you'll see the feet of the roll bar sticking out the floor. I still have no idea how the driver escaped that crash, but it certainly wasn't thanks to the roll bar.
