Harness Bar vs 4 pt cage vs full cage

IF the roof collapses on you. I've seen plenty of rollovers that didn't crush the roof.

The structual design of our cars are pretty stout. I think it more so if you were to roll mulitple times is where it would come in to play. For each roll the structure will weaken.

Driving a street car on the track is always going to force compromise in safety. You're not going to be able to run all safety equipment a true track car can. You are circumventing many of safety designs street car has had engineered by factory when you start putting harnesses anspd race seats in a car. Safest cars are street cars with all safety systems intact on the street and full on race cars on the track.

For me I went with race seats, rear rollbar, airbag delete, schroth harnesses with neck brace and arm restraints. Is it perfect? nope. Could I be injured in serious mishap yep. It's personal choice. For me it was best compromise. I have some rollover protection, good race seats provide protection as well. My roll bar is 4 point system that is very solid. But let's say I go front half of roof into cement wall? I won't be a happy camper. Would be depending on hoop just behind my head to keep roof from crushing.

I'm getting HANS device for my setup.
