I've been reading up on harnesses and found this... If you've already seen this... good... if not, please read this article and take a look at the recommendations from Sparco (the TRW harness) on how to install, wear, and care for a harness... if you are going to do it... do it right or stick to your 3pt factory seatbelt please for your own sake.
I've taken a course in Vehicle Crash Dynamics and you'd be surprised at how high the forces really are... even if you already thought they were high...

yes harness saftey is very important. an improperly installed harness can totally kick your ***. right now my sub belts are mounted really badly. this article has reminded me to move them.
bump for willans 6 point d loop. very good harness. Id like to try a teamtech harness though.

Very nice Ive seen quite a few people ask about this. This need to be in the road racing section too...

LOL is been a week since the last post in there...I dont think any one will get to mad.If I were you Id just cut and paste your whole original post in it. If it is really a problem (wich I couldnt see it being) they would probably just delete this one...its really btter suited for that forum anyways...

Even in forward crashes you run the risk of spinal compression from improper belt angle.Axel Grungy wrote:this is true. but u can use one in autox because you dont really have a chance of flipping over. daily driving i just take it out and use my reg belts
I've seen and known people to hit things in auto-x.
