Rollbar / seats / harness stuff, yet again...

Well first off, I think you would be surprised at how much you actually move around in the event of a roll over or big impact. Second if your cage was truly far enough back that you couldn't hit your head on it, then its too far back to protect you in a roll over anyway. No matter which way you argue it, this debate is very black & white. There are no gray areas, safety will have to be compromised one way or another.

I second that. I have seen two guys lost their lives over little accidents on the street thanks to the bar on the street even though they have the racing seat and harness. They were all fairly minor impacts too. Btw, aren't the side airbags from the seats?
