Ike, when I ordered the harness for my dirt track car, pull-up or -down was an option. Having experience previously, I went for the pull-down as pull-up seems easier, but not when down in the car.
On a more global view, it is sad we are saddled with airbags and silly three-point systems. It just illustrates that while pols and bureaucrats feel the need to "protect" us at all times, they were too fearful of backlash to require a superior system.
I will say, having been hit from the side in my A4 (which totaled it,) I had no impact with the side window due to the intervention of the side curtain air bag. The only downside was hitting my wife's head since hers was moving left from the impact. We only had a few stitches, though. Much better than smashing against a window!
