Logically speaking a 3pt is more idiot proof than a 5pt harness and much easier for a EMT/fire crew to cut you out of the car.

that would be quite a wreck to take move the body up and back. which in my thinking gets back to 80/20. what you describe to me sounds like a 20%er while the wreck I was in is an 80% example. And my neck did not snap. Seat choice matters, as well as exactly where that bar is behind you. And where NHRA wants it.
Egress is a discussion we have not had. That was one of the interesting takeways for me talking to Ron last month. He said his drivers practice getting out of the car. Another thing that seemed perfectly logical but I had never thought of. Harness, HANs, smoke, cage bars, I imagine it can get quite tense getting out of a car. Imagine someone else trying to get you out of a burning car if you are wearing a harness, which is unfamiliar equipment to most people.
