I'm sure it does i'm not arguing that point, yeah I could build a pipe cage it it would hold up much better than a stock roof but the same could be said for many things. Never said i built one and had it fail but i'll take advice when it's given. Clearly that was just my and not fact so to each his own.
I was merely pointing out that you said you wouldn't trust your life to a pipe cage, yet you daily trust your life to a stock tinfoil roof.
As for taking advice when given, real life experience > popular internet rumor. So here is some advice for you to take, poop pipe isn't nearly as bad as people like to pretend it is, it is a good, strong, cheap option for those that cannot afford an expensive bender and expensive tube. I will gladly get some pics and maybe vids of me with my skull in one piece after a roll once mine is done.
