The Schroth Profi Flexi range of FIA approved lightweight 6-point professional harnesses are designed for saloon/GT installations. The Flexi 2x2 harness is a HANS/FHR specific harness which has the ability to have the lap straps as in pull up or, pull down set-up. They feature a rotary buckle and alloy adjusters and are available in 4 different colours
With conventional harnesses the lap belts must be specified with "pull up" or "pull down" adjusters and the adjuster postitionns can still be sub optimal with regard to interference with seat, tunnel etc. Schroth have developed the Flexi Belt system, a solution allowing the installation to be optimised whatever the application with just one lap belt model. The lap belt latches and brackets supplied are secured to the lap belts with a two-bar sliding bracket allowing the lap belts to be custom assembled and easily re-configured. Either pull-up or pull-down adjustment can be achieved and if required the left and right belts can be configured differently with the lengths of each section optimised to suit the installation. Chassis mounting hardware can be selected to allow either bolt-in or snap-hook. "Flexi BeltTM" is only available with 50mm (2") lap belts
To explain why 50mm (2") webbing is more effective than 75mm (3") webbing, one needs to look at the shape of the human body. The Iliac Crest (IC) is the part of the pelvic bone that sticks out above the hips. 50mm (2") webbing fits entirely within the recession created by the Iliac Crest where 75mm (3") webbing rides over the top of the Iliac Crest. The 75mm (3") webbing has less contact area by percentage than the 50mm (2") webbing which will cause more bruising during an impact where the belt is making contact with the pelvic bone. Since the 50mm (2") webbing rides inside the Iliac Crest it can be worn as much as 25mm (1") to 40mm (1.5") tighter and at the same time is more comfortable.
Since the 50mm (2") webbing fits well within the Iliac Crest of the pelvis, it is less likely to slide up above the crest and cause submarining, a condition where the body slide down below the lap belt possibly causing internal organ damage.
Research shows that the faster the pelvis is captured, the lower the resultant loads on the chest, head and neck. There is no difference in the strength of the 50mm (2") webbing. All webbing: 50mm (2") or 75mm (3") must meet the same homolgation test loads.
An additional benefit of the 50mm (2") lap belts, the required force to properly and tightly adjust the belts in the car is much easier than with 75mm (3") belts
