Tue, 16 November 2004 01:04 As individual pieces harness, seat, cage and helmet are not the best option. It is only together and at higher speeds that you get the real benefit. Helmet - makes your head heavier increasing risk of neck injuries when in most crashes you won't hit your head. Harness - will cause sudden deceleration of your body in an accident rather than the controlled deceleration of retractable belts increasing the risk of internal injuries. Also interferes with airbags if fitted. Seat - proper race seats can interfere with the correct operation of seat belts in some cars. Cage - reduces interior room thereby increasing the risk of head injuries, and most decent race spec cages should be tied into your front strut towers which will interfere with crumple zones. Put them all together and increase the speeds though and you will be far better off. However for normal road use any single component is likely to do more harm than good in most accident situations. The exception is seats, IF they don't interfere with the correct operation of your seatbelts they can help by reducing sideways movement in an accident. Callum [Report message to a moderator]
