What's a "stinger' bumper for?

Apart from making your rig look like a rhino, what's the purpose of 'stinger' hoops on front bumpers?

All my wheeling has been in mud/woods. Maybe it's a rock thing?

It keeps you from going over the front end.

In some rollover cases it will keep you from tarring up your hood and grill.

Judging by the fact that the woman's eyes aren't like

Thanks!

Never even considered it as a forward-travel limiter.

Ok - now that I know it's function, it's beautiful. I guess I'm a 'form is defined by function' sort.

Thanks!
