I beg to differ Dum... A crash of any sort will decelerate your body REALLY quickly. All the force pushing against the harnesses (and therefore them pushing back on you to slow you down) will cause the harnesses to work about the pivot point (your shoulders) and push them down, i.e bending / compressing your spine.
The only real safe way to have the harnesses fastened is at a height which is equal to, or within a few degrees of your shoulder height.
There are many articles on the net that say angles of no more than 30* are ok, but for me it has to be pretty damn near level to feel safe.
