The gross error that some people make when mounting harnesses in the S2000 is to wrap the shoulder strap over the shoulder and then down to the floor. This can lead to serious injury through spinal compression in the event of frontal impact, and is the main reason for my concern. I've also seen some people wrap the shoulder straps around the cosmetic plastic around the stock roll hoops. The plastic will crush if there's a severe frontal impact, resulting in excessive forward travel and greatly increased risk of injury.

Down to the floor?? I had no idea anyone would do that. Now your statement makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification!Drive Safe,
