You guys have brought up some very good points.

The thought of unprotected heads whipping around in an accident and banging into the rollbars is not good. I have seen pictures of small padded attachments to the rollbars to cushion rearward head movement....not a bad idea.

Also, moving the shoulder belt attachment point up onto the rollbars is a good idea....although not as aesthetical. Most shoulder belts attach behind the seat which pulls down on the shoulders and compresses the spine....not a good thing.

I do worry about those of you without rollbars who use shoulder belts. If the car would ever roll, you have absolutely no protection. You couldn't even duck down into the car.
