Anyone have any comments of the saftey of the reat passenger with a sparco harness bar. I would think thier head might hit the bar durning hard braking or a collision casuing some pretty iffy head injuries.

 

no use getting it, if you're carrying passengers everyday.....

 

planning to autox quite frequently, but need to carry friends around all the time, i'm like a high speed on call taxi

 

Wrap some foam padding around it and zip it down if that makes you feel better about it. I have the same bar, but I don't carry passengers around.

 

I'm thinking, just put a bunch of bubble wrap around it and i mean a ton, but then passengers would pop em and that would drive me nuts , is this bar even legal for street use?

 

get dental insurance, and bondo to fill the teeth marks.

 

bad idea comes to mind.......but if you pad it use some real roll bar padding sold from a race supply shop....try ioport racing or pegasus....

 

Roll bar padding is made to lessen an impact with a helmet on. I wouldn't keep the bar in with passengers.

 

god made seat belts for a reason.. if you dont like that idea then how bout waivers for everone who rides in your car?

 

If you care about the people in the back of your car, I wouldnt do it.

 

I was wondering when someone would suggest the most obvious solution to the problem

 

he has the right idea about the foam padding...

 

if you get into a wreck, the rear seatbelts will lock- if you are really concerned, put 5pt harnesses in the rear too!

 

i know that seat belts will alow enough travel for the head to move foward enough t hit the bar, thats a fact, seat belts stop our bodies, not ur head, jsut though this would be a intresting point to bring up but w/e

 

are the people riding in the back made of rubber? how is someone's head gonna stretch all the wat into the bar? even with 2 inches of play (way over) in the seat belt on full lock, put your chin on your chest- you wont hit the bar unless you are double jointed in your neck....
