Did Subdriver's car roll over?
One of the posters indicated in his post, to which I first responded, that harnesses were more dangerous because in the event of a rollover there could be head injury due to being held upright. My response was that the likelihood of a rollover is far less than smacking something headon or a glancing frontal impact for which the harness are designed. This is where the decision to guard againt the most likely mishap originated.
Ask either of my friends who stuffed their cars (Z06 & '00 Vette) into walls/guardrails whether the harnesses helped them during the impacts. I know what their answers will be.
My point is that harnesses are another safety device that can prove useful, and according to your post, "there is almost always more that can be done with regards to safety than the minimum required." I've never stated that harnesses are the end all, be all. They are but a part of a safety system. Nothing will guard us from everything and because of that we're forced into putting what safety features we can afford and skip those we're willing to live without.
