The roll bar may not have really been a true roll bar and it certainly wasn't a cage. Commenters say the tubing looks too thin (may have been exhaust tubing), and was just a roll hoop. Not surprised the roof failed as that kind of load is way beyond what the A-pillars are designed for, and the C-pillars don't have much vertical strength in that body design. But for what appears to be a full-on track car, why didn't he have a proper cage? And more importantly, how did it get past tech inspection?
