What do I know, though...
Every time I see a harness bolted to the ground I cringe... You're 100% right in your post.

Looks like building race cars and racing in said cars for quite a while actually paid off!

No, your 100% right, they should not be bolted directly under the back of the seat. I think the optimal angle is 25^ or something like that. It should pull so your body wants to slide a bit(not down, but slightly forward), not compress in the seat and do damage to your spine.

Also, if someone does bolt to the floor, it should be with grade 8 hardware, using washers on both sides of the bolt that are a minimum of 4" in size to spread the load they take.

and on bolt in cages, yes they can fail if not set up right, but a WELL set up one, should save your *** from major dammage.

The stretch isn't necessarily too dangerous but having the lip of the wheel that exposed will be dangerous. The wrong pothole will break a chunk right off. I've seen it happen a million times.

That said, rock what you like brah, it's your car. I can't say I haven't run far more dangerous things on my car when I was younger.
