The doors, hard or soft, do not offer structural protection in the event of an accident
and do not change the open body characteristics of the vehicle. The doors only
provide protection from the weather. Always use seat belts. Failure to use standard
seat belts subjects the driver and passengers to greater risk of being thrown out of
an open body vehicle than out of a closed vehicle in an accident which can result
in injury or death.
