This is how racing harnesses are suppose to be installed.

The lower the anchor point of the shoulder belt is mounted, the less effective they are in a frontal crash.

I cable/zip tied the back of the harness into the baby anchors behind my seat so on impact they will snap and then the stock seat belt will grab me.

This setup for me is to hold me in for corners up until impact where, like I said, the zip ties/cable ties will snap which will then make the seat belt grab me

Sorry if hadn't specified earlier. I understand why not to bolt the harness in, it can cause the spine to snap due to the forces and anchor points if bolted in.

Side note: I miss judged a corner the other day on a cruise, and the zip/cable ties snapped and did exactly what I hoped (seatbelt grabbed me)
