Every sanctioning body has its own rules concerning seatbelts and harnesses. My personal feelings are that harnesses with two belts coming over the top of the seat should NEVER be used in vehicles that don't have approved roll-cages. There are, I suppose, cases where they can be used in vehicles with only roll-bars, but I don't recommend it. The reason for this is that in a roll-over, the over-the-shoulder belts prevent the driver or passenger from being able to lean toward the center of the vehicle. Three-point belts are, without a doubt, the safest systems for use on non-caged vehicles.
