I seems that if improperly installed these can cause more damage to your favorite body that the incident itself.<br /> <br /> I think I have seen pictures of several systems that are improperly installed and perhaps the &quot;better than nothing &quot; does not really work. <a href="http://www.gforce.com/pdf/Harness_Install_Info.pdf" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/community/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gforce.com%2Fpdf%2FHarness_Install_Info.pdf&amp;hash=12b761be152b17a855505ce9fe9c3ccf" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><img src="/community/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /></a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">People try to run what they got instead of making it right, and making it right generally means the back seat is useless because of the shoulder harness bar<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I agree, I see a lot of harness&#039;s not mounted right. Most seem to be in mall crawlers though.

The reason is if you are in a crash the force is most likely to be strait forward. By mounting the shoulder harness near the shoulder it can absorb more force. If the shoulder harness is mounted down low such as on the floor then it cant hold you in place when the force is pulling you forward. This is very true for road use but when off-roading the force often pulling you toward the roof since rollovers are more common off road than on. To cover all types of crashes I think mounting the harness close to the shoulder is more important than the angle. If it is close then you are protected from front end crashes and roll overs.</div>
