To what Lynn is saying, I'll add this: There is little point in having an installation that depends upon the shear strength of the fuselage skin, or the pull strength of a single light bulkhead to absorb the impact of a crash. We've seen these 'simple' installations of which the FAA will no longer approve (much of the consternation of some). This is one of the rare cases where the FAA is probably correct; many of these installations will do little more than slow you down on your way to impacting the glareshield with your frontal lobes. Better than nothing, but not enough. Similarly useless are attempts to secure the harnesses to the seat-back tube: in the event of a hard hit, this is going to come away. You want something that's not going to go *pop* when the plane goes *thunk*. The installation which Lynn mentions, developed in California, meets that requirement and goes aft through two bulkheads, relatively deep into the fuselage cone.
