Charles Atlas used to amaze people by tearing a 2 inch phone book in
half with his bare hands, BUT there was a trick.

He would fan the pages ever so slightly so that he was tearing a bit at
a time.

Earnharts seat belt could be visualized in a similar manner.  The
failure started on one side of the belt and ripped across, instead of
the total flat of the belt taking the strain and holding.

Damn shame, I think we all agree.
