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

Well, it seems every company races cars. That doesn't mean every product they put out is good . Best bet would be to call them up and ask them if that harness bar is meant to withstand real harness forces or not, but I don't see why they'd bother with that big bar if it didn't.

That said though, the harnesses they've presumably just laid on there for show may not be installed right. Hard for me to say without actually being there to see all the angles and lengths up close, but I'd think that those belts need to cross.

It also looks like the belts angle upwards from where they're resting in the seat shoulder slots (should be between level and 20 degrees downward), but perhaps it levels out with a sufficiently tall person's shoulder on the other side? And you'd definitely still need something else on the bar to keep the belts in place, e.g. ziptied rollbar padding at least.

I'm not an expert, nor do I play one on TV. Just stuff I'm picking up poring over safety regulations and harness/seat mfg installation guides, etc
