I still think they are illegal in NJ. Even if legal, a cop will still ticket you and you’ll have to go to court to fight it out. plus I think they could still do more harm than good in a street car, with no helmet and no hans. Instead of all your body moving 15"-20" and dissipating energy as designed, now just your head and neck do. yikes. and airbags add a whole extra layer of complication. and with no bar/cage might kill you in a rollover. there is actually an expectation of you moving/leaning sideways in rollover in 3 points so if the roof partially collapses you still have a chance.

all that assumes the harness is installed correctly and doesn’t compress your spine in a 25 mph fender bender.
