they probly did have their belts done up , but they are like most other non thinking fools who think they know best ! If you look at the forth shot you can see the belt has slipped down off his shoulder , because he has used stock seats and not seats designed for use with harnesses! hers will be the same . They think because they have racing harnesses they are safe as houses! HAHAHAHAHA ! I have built and raced my own Sprintcars in the past and did alot of research into saftey equipment and this is not the only thing people over look when building performance cars ! Racing harnesses must be used with the right seats and bar work and set up at the right angles or they will be useless like , as was shown here ! Even if used with seats that the harness passes thru, if there is not horizontal bar at or slightly above shoulder level the back of the seat could collapse and and cause a compression injury to the spine ! Harnesses should not be secured on the parcel self right back near the rear window , they have way to much length to stretch ( and beleive me they strech a long way ) than if they were secured to a shoulder hight bar just behind the seat ! Did any of you know that most racing harnesses deteriorate at a faster rate when exposed to sunlight than factory type seat belts ! there are many more facts that people just dont realise when it comes to setting up saftey equipment ! I could go on for hours !

But i wont unless someone is interested in their own saftey , I would be only 2 happy to help !

One of my uncles rolled hius car when he was a young bloke and his best mate was in the passengers seat , was holding on to the roof gutter like the woman shown and lost all his fingers and half his palm because of it ! It got severed and was too damaged to reattach ! So there is a tip for young players as well !
