that is the only reason i posted in this thread... the almost elitist version of 'you're an idiot if you use a harness with out a full cage' has magically been accepted as law, and is now the first response you hear when the question is asked.

lots of different factors need to be weighed.. if you're in a cobra or miata with no hoop, a big tall seat with 6 pts is probably a bad idea. if you're in a mini-van with huge head room and proven roll over protection you'd be stupid not to wear a harness.

in a perfect world, everyone would have full cages and NASCAR bars... but thats not the case... and i don't feel that the only opinion given should be 'full race or OEM, with nothing in between'.
