Even with the cage the roof has deformed, and nearly left the drivers head poking out of the window.
The force required to move the b pillar into the drivers head without a cage would be way less. With a harness you would be kept perfectly upright, at least normal belts would allow your body to move the same way as the roof.
I hope that make sense

Unless you were a 2 foot dwarf, that crash would have been death!
I am sure there is a thread on here asking about what colour harnesses to fit......made me laugh. Kind of missing the point I think

I contributed to that thread and have been thinking about Simon's comments.

So would the advice be to loose the harnesses unless a proper cage was fitted
It'd be a shame. As I allude to in the other thread I enjoy the additional support offered by the harnesses and presumed they'd also offer greater support in anything other then a roll-over accident.
I'd be grateful for some advice. Having survived this in my old Fiesta, I'm very concious of seatbelts and their effects.

Well there you go.....imagine if you had a passenger with a harness on.
Saying that, only a full cage might have helped there!
But at least with a normal belt the torso would have had some movement.
