[TR] Seat belts in TR4A

[Dave]

very much so.  the issue imho is do you want to rebuild your face or take 
the chance on spinal compression?

after my nose was broken for the third time (over many years) I had some 
serious nose surgery.  I DO NOT want to go through that again.

at nationals two? years ago someone rolled their vitesse.  he was just fine. 
no roll bar, although he has one now.

but here are some facts:
at 35 mph a collision without a seat belt is fatal.
a collision at 20 mph is like falling off a 2 story building
a collision at 40 mph is like falling off a 4 story building

yes, I recently took driver ed to get out of a speeding ticket.

This is clearly an area with different points of view.  I have heard
arguments against installing a shoulder belt with the attachment point well
below your shoulder.  I believe the concern is spinal compression though
one could also ponder the wisdom of being strapped in an upright position
in one of these cars (w/o a roll bar).
