Good point, but would that not also apply the same force?
I was informed that the attachment method would be sufficient.
What's sad is the only way either of us would know for sure is a crash test.
My logic is such:
Statistically I have a greater chance at a side or corner impact than a direct head-on collision. Probably more so in the corner given the limited structure/reinforcement in the door. Under these conditions the belts would be effective in keeping my body in the vehicle "most" of the time. I don’t suspect logically that I would have much of a chance at all in the even of a high-speed head on. The steering column would probably crush or pierce my chest first. I don't mean to be morbid, just a matter-of-fact.
I look at it this way. These are not production cars, nor would they ever pass modern day safety requirements. There's a calculated risk in everything we do. There comes a point when you must draw the proverbial line.
What do you all think? Probably a good topic for the lounge?
