It's pretty obvious that the potential if getting injured in a wreck without doors will be greater. If you're worried about getting hurt in a wreck, don't go doorless. If you're worried about somebody ripping you off while your doorless Jeep is parked in the mall parking lot, don't go doorless.

Mr. G-O-D,
while I usually appreciate your no nonsense approach to moderation and frequently find myself chuckling at the various smack downs you confer, I have to say that I can see where Mr. BustedBack is coming from. It's kind of like riding a motorcycle... The potential for injury is obvious and if that is a source of worry, perhaps riding a bike isnt worth it. Understanding the risk is the first step towards making an informed decision.
To continue the conversation... Is the structural integrity of the body affected when doorless as it is when the top is chopped? We've all seen the picture of the Upcountry high centered and folded like a taco. It would be one thing to get scraped and scratched, quite another to find yourself as the filling in a human flavored Cherokee sandwich.

I understand your point completely, however the OP never asked anything more than if anyone has actually been in an accident. Nowhere did he say he was nervous or wary of doing so because of the higher potential for injury.
Everything else is just assumption.
Simplest answer from everyon here so far is either yes or no.
And no one even gave that answer.
