I’ve been looking into 6-point harnesses after having a conversation with someone in racing who recommended doing so from the 4-points I have.
Doing some research on the Schroth site I think I maybe in luck and can upgrade my existing Profi II’s.
Whilst on the site I took a look at their Competition Instructions document and found the description of what happens to the body in a harness during an impact. Its a fascinating read and it is amazing the forces the body endures.
I’d recommend downloading it
And reading from page 20.
It has also made me more aware of the benefits of the Hans device. There seems to be a stigma about wearing them at trackdays and club racing, but I am considering one as I am starting to replace my existing safety equipment with a view to racing in the future.
Whilst its quiet over Xmas its well worth reading and considering some investment in your own safety in 2009.
