Isofix for race harness?

What do you think of using Isofix for snap on racing harness?
I don't mean the ones in the back seats, but the one on the rear shelf, it looks quite strong to me...

I doubt it's designed for the weight of an adult. The highest weight rating child car seat I am aware of that supports the top anchor is 90 lbs (41 kgs), and that is supplementary to the regular seat belt holding the car seat in place (the top anchor is there to limit rotation of the car seat around the seatbelt).

A creative idea, but I wouldn't risk it myself on a safety device.

I'd prefer to not have a major spinal injury in the event of a crash.

I'm more for Pole Position than Sportster...��
Don't you think that this anchor point is safe? There's a pass throughout bolt that's directly connected to a nut welded to the chassis. And the bracket is more strong than, i.e., the Takata bendable snap on kit...

According to the wiki those connectors are only good for something up to 33kg. Doesn't seem like it would be a good fit for a racing harness.
