They do hold you in place better than regular belts. I don't think heavy braking on the track would be much fun without them. I did extensive research before I purchased. There is a love hate relationship and opinions with the quickfit harnesses. I think that debate will go on until the is some kind of documentation of an accident with a rollover and the person involved is wearing a quickfit. This is the only video I have ever found for a crash test. Looks like it works pretty well with a hans. There is also the Schoth video on the website.Oh nice, thanks for the photo! They definitely hold better than stock seatbelts right?
I'm struggling to hold myself against the steering wheel during heavy downhill brakes.
Hoping these will actually hold my body in place
I also took one major factor into the equation, my height. I'm not tall only 5' 6". I personally think they are a good option for a smaller stature guy like me. I have plenty of room from my head and roof even with a helmet but who knows what the hell would happen with the roof in a significant accident. I have a history of a roll over back in the day- hit black ice in a dip in the road around a sweeping bend - ya driving too fast too - 2000 ford focus, blew out all the windows, broke off the drivers side wheels , crushed the driver side roof in by 6 inches and broke off the gear shifter with my hip. Fortunately the only injury that I got was I cut one finger climbing back in the car to get my phone. You have absolutely no control of you body in accident like that. You are at the mercy of G forces. I did have my seat belt on and was still tossed around. At the junk yard, I had to get back in the car to get my belongings and sat in the drivers seat just to see if my head touched because I had no idea how I did not get injured - it did not. I know, I know - the roof is higher in a focus. I think there is a give and take with everthing with high performance driving with a "street car " that has been modified for the track with our budgets. If we all had the cash we would all have full out race cars. I am guilty of not having a hans. That is my next purchase. Good luck in making your decision - I guess you have to make your decision on what you feel is right for you after you do your due diligence.
