The hell do you do when you drive? They arent practical for most people bc they think a car is a dinner table, and eat and drive, look at little kids, they are strapped in place pretty tight in a CARSEAT! if people used cars for what they are for (drive and get to places) harnesses are the best for a vehicle.
So you've never leaned over to grab anything ever since you've been driving? Never stretched out on a long ass drive across the states? Never lean forward a good bit to get a better view of some blind spots at intersections? Never leaned over to look out the rear window to back up? For a DD they aren't very practical, but that's just my opinion.
Again, harnesses have slack!
Harness bar is NOT needed for harnesses, harness bar just makes it easier to use harnesses, and makes the back seat even more dangerous for passengers.
harnesses come through buckets seats at the same point and lay over the driver in the same manner when using a harness bar or bolted into the frame. A factory seatbelt lays across the chest and collar bone as well. You make no sense to me
This is great. Haha.
How easier? Most of the time the harness isn't even mounted to the bar.
Seems like someone might need to check their blood pressure real quick. Calm down their Sally.
Bolting them in the floor doesn't pull them down. There is nothing pulling on them! My info is based off of facts and real life personal experience. I don't get pulled anywhere from a harness, its not designed to pull! It's designed to hold. If you think o have harnesses for a look, you're hugely mistaken.
Thank you and child, I've ready many of your other post before. You are very knowledgeable. I don't want to discredit anything you may have said. Sorry if I came off as an ass. When I was building my miata this and roll bars were a huge discussion. As you could imagine they're a huge deal in a car with no roof.
i dont believe harness bars are made for looks, but i do believe they are necessary in specific applications, not all applications. Yes there is force, and the driver is being held. Both installations of a harness (the proper rear chassis points and a b-pillar bar) hold the driver in the bucket seat. The eyelets in the bucket seat allow the harness to hold the driver in the same manner. Force isn't applied to the driver differently after the harness has passed through those eyelets. If there was no eyelet, just an open should like a normal seat, then the mounting location would make a difference. The reasoning for bolting the harness to the proper chassis points is for strength. A harness bar does the same thing, except it's even stronger because it adds a solid bar through the virtual center point of the car which increases it's strength. it's basically a small piece of roll cage. Everything you're mentioning is solid for a miata...it's a roadster and has totally different dimensions from the OP's car.
Again, the tech requirements are set for a highER level of safety. Takata harnesses are FIA approved with instructions on installation and even make a chassis bolt in version of the harness as well as a harness bar version.
