Isn't it dangerous to attach the harness to the floor right behind you. Won't it compress you downward in a collision and crush your spine or something. I'd probably invest in a roll cage with a harness bar.

That, collar bone fractures and other general badness are possible. Massive fail by OP.
dont wear the harness until its correctly mounted.
if you think im kidding im not. all the force is going directly DOWN on your shoulders rather than BACK against your chest and body. i guarantee you that this will cost you dearly if you wreck with that setup.

Well seeing as how the harness holes are above my shoulders I don't see any problem with the mounting setup. Also the harnesses maintain position, in a crash my inertia will try and throw me forward in a crash. The belt simply keeps mr from flying out of the windshield, there is no magical force pulling the belt downward. Go take some physics classes kids, or post an example of injuries from "incorrectly mounted" harnesses. Chances are they didn't wear them properly (too loose)

I'm not trying to be mean here but here is some reading material for you to read before insulting someone who is just trying to keep you from hurting yourself by doing something stupid.
This one is straight from NASCAR. I think they might know a little about physics.
