Abstract

A safety harness having a chest strap received over a user's shoulders, a crotch strap received between a user's legs and selectively attachable to the chest strap, and a back panel received against a user's back, the back panel being interposed between the crotch strap and chest strap. The back panel is substantially the width of the user's shoulders and the height of the user's torso to evenly disperse and dissipate forces from sudden movements acted upon a user when the harness is secured to a vehicular seatbelt.
