It also helps distribute the stress on your body vs having 1 belt taking all of the force, you have 2.

A harness is day and night vs an OEM seat belt. I autocross routinely almost every weekend of the summer, and when not autocrossing I'm at a road course event. I have go-pro vids of my oem belt vs my harness mounted behind me as well as on my helmet itself(went 3 years with an OEM belt before finally doing a harness w/ belt).

There's no way of getting around your knee bruises from the door/inner pillar besides knee pads, but watching your shoulders/head shift limitations from OEM to a harness isn't even funny. The amount of focus you can retain on the course is literally day and night. I knew within the first 30 seconds that my harness and bar was easily one of my top add-ons for the track.

The harness bar is the added support you need to safely/correctly mount a hardness belt. Also, the hardness bar allows you to still retain your OEM belts,
Did you know that that if you are wearing a 4 point harness, sitting in a racing seat and roll the car you are going to be paralized/killed? It will hold your spine straight up in the seat
