Bruce,
It was not taken as an insult - only as a misleading statement about what is require to mount a seat.
In an accident, our seat mounting must only restrain the force of the seat (which weighs about 12 lbs). The occupant exerts little extra force on the seat itself (except down). The belts are the major restraint system for the body, unless you use the steering wheel and dash for that purpose...
The seats in production cars are much, much heavier, and require proportionally stronger mounting.
