Curt, Ray and all,
I DO HAVE SEATBEATS IN BOTH MY HEALEYS AND I WEAR THEM. The BN7 has an inertia
reel 3 pt belt, the BJ8 only lap belts. Ray stated that laying across the seat
was not an option. I merely expressed disagreement with that as a possibility.
With the inertia reel the shoulder part is loose enough that one could indeed
lay across the seats - yes, and that choice would have to be made prior to
applying the brake.
I am not saying that it is what I would do if I was aware of an impending front
end crash. I only am stating that I feel it is possible. Granted with the 4
pt or 5 pt belts the option is not there.
