I must take issue with this.  I had an acquaintance who suffered a
relatively 
minor accident in a twin but died because his head hit the panel.  It was 
estimated that the plane was only going 25-30 mph when it hit.  Shoulder 
harnesses do not have to be so tight as to force the wearer into a
completely 
erect position, just tight enough to keep you from kissing the panel.
After 
seeing my friend, I'll take my chances with the harness.
