Having a harness without roll over protection means your head becomes the rollover protection, which makes it a sure bet that your neck will snap...

So my point was use a 5/6 point harness ONLY with a rollbar or rollcage

TT allows harnesses without rollover protection but I would never touch that setup. We don't allow it in DEs even.
