Hello gents. Wondering if anyone has tried installing a full containment (halo) seat in their car? I'm considering one at some point, but I'm honestly worried that they would be dangerous in the event of a fire, making egress really difficult. It's already not particularly easy to get in or out of my car with the door bars and a regular seat. Anyone have any opinions?

I suppose as they've become more and more mainstream, I've just considered it might be an option. Have seen them in everything from IMSA to Spec Miata and thought it was the direction everyone was headed in the pursuit of ultimate safety. But in our case, I think it could actually work against that goal. Yes, I definitely wear a HANS, along with anyone who would ever be driving the car.
