Multi point harnesses have been proven safer many times in accidents. That's why racing went to them years ago. Also, as long as the system can be clipped and unlocked with one hand it is ADA compliant and considered legal for a passenger vehicle.

On the other hand a roll bar without a helmet is a very real danger in an accident. Tubes are skinny and present a small focal point so even a seemingly light impact will cause more damage than flat or more broadly curbed surfaces.

The SCCA did a writee up about this many many years ago. Can't find it online and I am not in the mood for searching through 20+ years of magazines to find it.
