it's when you crash, the floor pan crumbles, slackening the harness's and not keeping you tight in the seat.

also if you hit the back of someone with a bit of speed they will pull the brace forward. i have the same one its onkly bolted to the damper on the top. it might feel strong when you give it a bit of a tug but theres a lot more force involved when you hit someone. I would move them to the floor where the rear seatbelt buckles bolt to before you drive it again.

erm, they are attached to a bit of alloy or stainless that has hardly any structural strength in the direction the harnesses will pull in, it will bend in other words.
also the brace is attached ot the strut tops yes? this is a non-sturctural part, they will shear off very easily.... hence in an accident you will most likely get stabbed in the head by a flying strut brace!
so id move it!
