a 5 point harness is a seat belt-a law to use in my state. I do not wear a helmet and do not have an airbag in my 1970. In a frontal collision with high back buckets I do not think my head will hit the rollbar
I was referring to a head on collision where a 5 way harness restrains your body, but allows your head to whip forward.
The HANS device restrains the head from whipping forward.
Air bags do the same thing. As a Canadian who frequents Florida, I am aware that the laws differ from state to state. I routinely see people riding motorcycles with no helmet and a pair of sandals on.
Legal ? Yes. Is it wise? IMHO no. To each there own.
In a rollover accident your head could still hit the side bars.
Harnesses stretch significantly in an accident.
