Harness standards
Not to tangent a bit, I think ratings for harnesses (and helmets and suits for that matter) based on the SFI, FIA (or Snell) reflects the *minimum* ratings, not the actual protection protection offered, for example in multiple-impact shunts. I personally buy only top brand, FIA-rated, feeling it is a higher minimum standard. Also important is how the harnesses are positioned behind the driver/passenger, the best harness will hurt you if mounted too high or too low -- SCCA has a good write-up in mounting locations.
