You're right. The way these harnesses are installed will cause your spine to get compressed in a crash. When you get thrown forward the harness is going to try to straighten out between your shoulders and the mounting point. Since the mounts are on the floor its goin to put force down on your shoulders and end up pushing down on your spine.
"The height of the shoulder strap mounts is critical because if they are too low they can actually compress the driver's spine in a collision."
