Yes, those harnesses especially for rabbits are designed to fit them in all the right places. It might take your rabbit a few days to get used to it, but as long a the harness isn't too tight, it should be perfectly comfortable.

As long as your rabbit doesn't fight or throw a fit trying to get out of the harness like some cats do, then it should be fine.
The rabbit won't snap its neck due to the harness. Rabbits normally snap their neck when they get scared in their pens by an unfamiliar sound or by something attacking them. They will run around their pen then run into the cage wall. The weight of their body stopping and all of their weight being put on the spine will break their neck/back. The conditions for that happening are not present with a harness.

The harness shouldn't hurt the rabbit unless you pull to hard on it, but my rabbits hated those so they chewed threw them

yeah, they should be confortable as long as its not to tight. my rabbit loves going for walks she dosent like actually putting the harness on but once its on shes fine and hopps around. its kinda funny to see someone walk a rabbit like a dog!but she likes beeing outside!!

NO NO NO! If your rabbit gets scared and does a jump that they commonly do when they are spooked, it will snap its neck. A rabbit should NEVER be put in a harness. Sorry.
