Reinforcement bar removal

Just wanted to know if taking the front and rear reinforcement bar would be a good or life threatening idea? The bars itself probably weigh 75 lbs each. If I removed the front, would the engine block end up in my lap if I crashed? If I removed the rear, could someone crash into me rupturing the gas tank and cooking me?
Basically, is the reinforcement bar there for say something, like, saving my life? Or is it there to protect the car from severe engine damage and frame damage?
Just wanted to know if its a dumb *** idea or what.
