Roll-Bars & Sportscars

In a rather too-explicit-for-my-liking report (www.speedvision.com) , the coroner tasked with examining the Jeff Clinton crash reported that the roll-bar failed leaving the poor driver with little chance. My question is whether we need to look at sportscar roll-bars. While I am sure that Lola have the finest engineering resources available, is it perhaps the fault of the regulated design? Should sportscars revert to closed cockpits? I can't help but wonder if Michele Alboreto & Jeff Clinton would still be around if that were the case.
