In the event of a roll-over collision, a harness bar, especially with HANS, will pretty much guarantee that your spine is crushed by the weight of the car as the roof collapses on top of you.

The 3 pt belts allow you to move yourself out of the way, or for the roof to move you out of the way, in the event that the car gets suddenly shorter. A real harness will hold you firmly in place while you're forcibly shortened by 3000 pounds of awesome.
