This would probably save more people than roll over protection.

Got yelled at by the box once for riding standing up (flat ground). Reckoned I was raising the centre of balance too much and I was gong to tip .
My daily driver is a honda trx500 manual non power steer. Bit like an old Hilux. Bullet proof but as basic as hell. Hate the solid rear axle. Like riding a see saw. Ride is rough as hell. Expensive because of the honda badge.
Also ride a 1000 ads Most days. Awesome machine. Near enough a truck/ tractor. Bit scary fast and very heavy. Has taken over from the Hilux or trailer or the farm but at about 35k new bloody expensive.and thirsty
Can am are a bit fragile for my liking but fast as hell and well priced.
Yamaha seem to be a great all round farm bike but are big and heavy. Might be hard pulling out of abog. Very good ride on them.
Not had a new Suzuki for a while but always liked them. Good value for money. Never had any issues with them. I think often over looked. Smoothe ride.
Depends what you are looking for really. To shoot from. Just to get to camp. How many people gear. I would want 500cc min anyway
