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?

Im 6'0" and I don't have any issue with my Sparco halo seat. Results may vary.
A few thoughts: - I wear a Hans in this car - I've found that having the roof on or off doesn't seem to make any difference. Thought it would, but it doesn't. - For me, getting in is generally harder than getting out. - My seat is mounted to a slider and my floorpan is dropped by 1". - Seating position is generally upright, I don't like laying back, so the way I have it mounted would generally produce smaller ingress / egress. - I also don't have any rollbar padding on my car, so that could make a difference in how much space I would have to get in / out. I have the Tangerine cage which runs really close to the A-pillar. I think that if the cage weren't as tight to the edges it may be difficult to squeak by.
