Just got a Schroth 6 point harness
Never used... FIA approved (good up to 2009) AND streetlegal
(bought if from a GT3 RS owner)
€100
Attached thumbnail(s)
Can you explain to the uneducated why there are two straps for the bottom? To go around your three legs? Is it for boys only?!?!
Jen
good job..
and just the color I've been looking for (kidding)
congrats for you!

Nice score.
Am I right that that is streetlegal Europe and not streetlegal US? Just wondered.
The 2 sub straps (jenny) help to allay fears that certain appendages don't get squished in the event of a collision. Some people find the single strap uncomfortable.
Scroth also make the Hans device which is pretty cool. Their website is very explicit about just how seriously they take safety... Very cool. I'll probably get something very similar for my car, just in case it falls off the jackstands while I'm sitting in it.

It's just like that swing that you can hang from your ceil.... um, nevermind |
It's also a way to not have to cut a hole in your seat (assuming you don't have a race seat with a sub-strap hole already cut in it). You really don't want to run a sub strap around the front of the seat, it does Bad Things to the positioning of the belt buckle.
With a six-point harness, you effectively sit on the two sub straps so they go under your legs, then they come up in the middle and fasten to the belt.

OH, that's a relief. I thought maybe you ended up in another canal.

It's ECE approved (european street legal) Not sure if that makes it streetlegal in the US Regular racing harnesses are not streetlegal here in europe... |
everyone missed my jackstand joke. Must have been too close to the truth :-)

I didn't know how to respond to the swing comment. I know, what's the world coming to? Jenny's at a loss for words!
