Take a look at these photos from a Boxster roll-over at Willow Springs. This was the result of minor contact between two cars coming out of Turn 2 at around 85mph. This car was the innocent driver - he was tapped in the rear, spun off track, caught in the dirt, and rolled 5+ times. It doesn't happen often but it can happen and a cage is there for exactly that worst case scenario.
Most cage builders at this time (2012) thought that the cages they were building were more than adequate - but the pictures tell a different story...
I'll post the exact spec's of the tubing later today (don't have them memorized).
