[QUOTE="Jeff Furrier, post: 717973, member: 14301"] I watched a few videos, I can’t really tell but would speculate that the cross bar behind the seats which is 10 inches or so below his shoulders from the angle I saw. This is a problem if it where they are mounted. This is super common because that bar is the most obvious place to mount the harness and it already in about every chassis on or off road. The problem is you are not being held back so you can roll forward in harness, as you go forward and the harness tightens, it compresses your spine. It’s pretty common that you break your back at your T12 vertebra. If your shoulder harness are mounted below your shoulders because this bar is too low, add another bar. The other problem I see is that the seat has no side shoulder supports, but has a side head restraint halo. This isn’t a combination that is being recommended by any seat manufacturer that I’m aware of. You don’t want your head and neck restraining your whole body in a side impact, that’s your torsos job. The side head restraint is only supposed to support side movement of your head. This combination with an improperly mounted shoulder harness is a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
