Pop out Roll bars

Lights out Alice!

Did you know, for I can adamantly claim being ignorant about the fact that convertible cars have Pop out roll over bars in case of a roll over.

For me, most "ingenious" solutions that I come up with, for an application within or outside my expertise (mostly outside), are generally solutions that already exist out in the real world, but I am unaware of their existence due to my ignorance.

The red-faced moment that arises every time I "google" the idea and see  hundreds of similar or improved interpretation of the same solution is like a head on collision with a wall while walking absent-mindedly. You are not paying attention and BAM!! You hit the wall, become flustered, confused, disoriented, angry and humiliated at the same time, all the while hoping nobody has seen you crashing into the wall. But you know deep down inside that it would be in that very moment, the otherwise self centered world would look up from the entrancing screens and catch you in your embarrassing act.

Be careful out there Alice!
