Well I wasn't necessarily talking about fixed backs, but regardless you are correct. My only point is, it's better than nothing except in a rollover.Originally posted by Jesus Christ View Posti find them unsafe in any scenario. you oem seat is made to move in a specific direction on a roll over. A fixed back eliminates that so if you roll over (which is more of a possibility in an everyday scenario) you will probably die.

Maybe its because I'm coming into this convo late, but I don't see how fixed back seats with harness' are more dangerous on the street.Originally posted by Jesus Christ View Posti find them unsafe in any scenario. you oem seat is made to move in a specific direction on a roll over.

When you flip, seat belts are made so that you have give, and can slide down a bit so you're not as high etc. There's a few different reasons, but that's the main. Plus, if your harness is mounted at the wrong angle = spinal compression. If you get if a big rear end/ head on collision, harness's have no give, so without neck restraint your neck takes pretty much all of the force.Originally posted by andybob View PostMaybe its because I'm coming into this convo late, but I don't see how fixed back seats with harness' are more dangerous on the street.

I mean it would be just as bad if you had a normal seat belt, no? Harnesses are no more difficult, if not easier to release than a normal belt.Originally posted by Dudermagee View PostThe only bad thing I've heard about using a harness:
You're fucked if the car is on fire and you're not at a race track where response teams are on stand by.

The argument usually goes something like: you wouldn't want to be upside down, halfway unconscious, strapped into a 4 or 5 point harness with the engine on fire.Originally posted by FunfGang View PostI mean it would be just as bad if you had a normal seat belt, no?

But then I wouldn't want any of that even if I was using a regular seat belt.Dude... My nissan has like a v8, man.
