That may or may not be, but has no bearing on breaking one's neck in a crash that could have been prevented with a HNR.
I would ask the harness manufacturer before doing it.

Basilar skull fractures aren't common in cars going less than racing speeds, but if you're racing, absolutely invest in a HNR, and get it recertified every five years (mine comes due again in October 2023).I saw that and he recommends using the harness. I want to discourage using a harness without a HANS device. That's what killed Dale Sr. You can live with a smashed face.
+1 There are very few YT channels I like, and Uncle Tony's one of them. I'm glad he called these guys out. That wreck was nasty, and it was completely preventable. The 'Tuber obviously didn't consult with his lawyer before he posted that video.hence why I avoid most "car related" channels on YouTube as they are just assclowns chasing fame with ignorance as their powerplant.
It's a show car. What do you think the chances are that the harnesses are FIA or SFI certified? There's also an absolute crapload of counterfeit belts out there. Note to any of you building race trucks - only buy your safety equipment from a vendor you trust! Most of the stuff on eBay is counterfeit.Factory 3-points have more stretch than an FIA certified 4+ harness system.

I can't even bring myself to watch the video. I'm allergic to stupid; I already deal with tons of it each night at work.I saw the UT's video yesterday, and I left a comment about having my Caddy motor run away on me. My first instinct was to shut the engine off. It's the single force that's making you go faster, and if the controls aren't working, remove that force FIRST.

I noticed that he put it in park and going by the grinding noise it made the park pawl couldn't engage at that speed at just kept clicking past.
