When Gene Byrd crashed his KR2S a few years ago his harness was attached to the
rear fuselage, I'm not sure exactly where or how but he walked away from the
crash with a small cut to the forehead and bruses across his sholders caused by
the belts. There is no way to say what the results would have been if they were
attached to the shelf because it appears to still be attached to the fuselage.
His bruises healed rather quickly. Judge for yourself. Pictures of his crash.
