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?

Whatever equipment you have - full cage, window net, hans device, halo seat, arm restraints, radio comm cord, cool shirt plumbing, if you find it difficult to exit the car I strongly recommend installing a removable steering wheel. For myself, I employed all in my list except the halo seat. I also recommend practicing egress blindfolded. Smoke, fire, dust, or upside down can be very disorienting. Learned this from career in Naval aviation and required periodic training. Helicopter dunker was especially fun.
