John, the assertion that it is safer to not wear a 5/6 point harness in a rollover situation is false. Articles that I have read and shows that I have seen based on information of all of the injuries logged by the NHTSA shows that most come from being thrown around in the car wearing 3 point harnesses. You must admit that the likelyhood of the roof crushing in during a rollover is a small probability.
Could you be injured wearing a 5/6 point harness if the roof crushes? Sure, but I would rather be protected against the more certain injury from being marginally restrained in the event of a crash or rollover.
If I had to pick between a 3 point harness or a 5/6 point without a rollbar, I'd take the latter.
