Reason for this is upon impact, if the angle is too sharp, the belt will leverage harder pushing you into the seat and that can possible break your back. Probably won't even pass inspection if you get a strict inspector.
Took the words right out of my mouth.

Your harness bar is mounted behind the rear seats so technically it's not in the cabin correct? is it bolted or welded? I've heard horror stories regarding driver injuries involving airborne harness bars. Because of this I've always been weary of harness bars. Was this an issue you came across and if so what did you do to prevent it?
