Mr. Schimstock

Are safety harnesses still OK to use the month they expire?  For instance if they have a date of June are they good until July 1st?

Thanks,

Mr. Schim... the only reason you would ask about those dates is for USFRA T&T so call them and tell them the dates on your belts and ask the question. 
I can tell you we have had August belts and they were always good through SpeedWeek.

I am pretty sure that belts are no longer legal 1-1  year follow year of expiration.

You are spot on.  I got confused between the expiration dates on my fire bottles and the harness.  My mind must be starting to slip.  I'm hopeful I can get one last set of runs out of the belts.  Otherwise I'll have to just spectate at the T&T.  Nobody's fault but my own.

Thanks,
