I see this all the time in race cars at the local level, and it really surprises me. Recently I saw a Brunton Stalker at a car event that had the shoulder belts coming up and over the seat back. That is a recipe for a compressed spine in a sufficiently bad front-end prang.
I'm just 6 feet, and ended up getting a custom seat in my race car so I could move the harness openings up high enough so the belts were within 5 degrees of horizontal while wearing my HANS.
