That can't be done when you're in a harness, so if your roof gets crushed, your skull and spine are gonna get crushed too (unless you're short and the cave-in is not bad).

The amount of force needed to roll a 3,000lb vehicle is about 1G. At 1G you do not have control of your limbs or torso, they are being thrashed about in the cockpit. There is no way you could "duck" or position yourself in the vehicle with 1G working against you. In this event the safest place to be is in the seats. These restraints are manufactured to keep you in the seat in the event of an accident. Also in the event of a rollover and the roof collapsing, ALL OEM seats are manufactured to "give or collapse" to allow the roof to come down and the occupant to remain safe. There is NO COMPLICATION AT ALL running belts with no rollbar. If you have any questions regarding safety products feel free to email me. Thanks Mike LCP 11-04-2003, 01:24 PM ...the rollover, especially when you go off track and a wheel digs in causing the rollover, seems to happen relatively slowly, and I've driven my car around corners and decelerated at 1g before and had reasonable control of my limbs and torso. For many people their head, especially when combined with their helmet is taller than the back of their seats, so that by the time force is exerted on the seat allowing it to collapse that force would have to first be transmitted through the head and neck of the seat's occupant. Also, don't forget that a fair number of people who've installed harnesses in their cars have also upgraded to "racing" seats as well.

In the event that I'm ever faced with a rollover I just hope that all my safety devices work as they are engineered to because I'm probably just going to be thinking "oh $hit!!" If/when you crash it is never going to be like you inticipated. That stated, I'd probably stick with the stock harness as well just due to the amount of testing that goes in to the safety package as a whole. |
