LMAO at all the hate this forum has to offer...
I can't inquire about something without being attacked, What about those driving around with Voltex wings as high as the roof on their dailys. They're just posing ricers right?
So unless the car is 100% you're posing because it's just a daily driver right?
Never mind just staying planted on those occasional tight turns right?

even with all the hate, there has been good information posted here. you should be able to read and see what you should listen to, and what to discard as ignorance.
bottom line: no, it's not safe to have people ride in the back with a harness bar. harnesses on the street aren't the worst idea ever. I know plenty of people who run them. that said, if all you want are harnesses, there are harnesses that don't require a bar, and you can detatch them when not in use. a guy i autocross with uses this type. when he's on the street, he uses is stock belts, then when it's time to race, he uses the harnesses.
good luck with whatever you choose to do.

As for the hate, it was just unnecessary is all I wanted to point out.
Guess I'll lurk more

I agree that it's probably not the best for passengers but come on, if the rear passengers have their seatbelts on, then their head isn't going to hit the bar. That's why the rear seatbelts have shoulder straps, not just a lap belt, to keep the them secure agains the seat during a sharp stop or impact.

without viewing a high speed camera I wouldn't know for sure where a body ends up during a crash. I can guarantee you arms, legs and packages are going to be all over the place.
To assume a shoulder belt holds you tight to the seat back is not dealing with the laws of physics though.
