MK rollcage top bar angles

Can anyone help me by measuring the angle of the bend in the top/roof bars of a MK Indy rollcage,the angle looks about 30* but a accurate figure would be useful cheers Lewis.

I'll leave the technical arguments to others, but it's too much angle for my tastes anyway.

Can anyone come up with a useful answer?

From a side on picture: the front part of the "roof bars" slope downward by ~15 degrees. The rear part of the same roof bars slope down (to the other end of the car, obviously) by around 25 degrees. That makes the total bend 40 degrees...
