NSTALLATION
Never install a racing harness with
attachment hardware [such as the 3-
bar slide pictured at left] next to the
occupant’s body or to the inside of
the bucket seat. 3-bar slides
positioned in such a way may cut into
the occupant’s neck during an
accident and severe injuries or death
may occur.
In case of HANS ® use of 3-bar slides
will not allow shoulder straps to be
positioned properly on HANS ® .
Never run straps over sharp edges and brackets. Sharp edges may cut
the webbing and the racing harness may fail during an accident.
Severe injuries or death may occur.
3-bar slides are positioned too far off of the roll cage and there is
nothing to prevent lateral movement of the belts along the bar.
Webbing is therefore improperly routed and not folded back to the final
part of the wrap to secure the 3-bar slide. This improper installation may
allow webbing to slide through the hardware during an accident.
Unintended elongation and severe head impact, resulting in severe
injuries or death, may occur. If a HANS ® were to be used with this type of
installation, the shoulder straps may slide off the HANS ® so its
effectiveness in an accident will be eliminated. Severe injuries or death
may occur. Always secure wrap around attachments against lateral
sliding on the roll cage bar. Otherwise, severe injuries or death may
occur.
This webbing runs too far back, and at too
low of an angle. A Lap belt cannot be routed
straight through seat slots. It will tend to slide
off the pelvic bone and result in submarining.
This will also add additional load to the anti-
sub strap. Severe injuries or death may occur.
