The fact that the lap belt can be stretched and slide upon impact and end up around your belly button is why they're dangerous. I don't care how tight they are, or how safe they're installed, an anti sub strap is needed. Had she been wearing 5 point belts, the crash probably would have broken her pelvis, instead of almost cutting through her torso.

And I was in no way insinuating that the 4 points were the cause of the accident, but I guarantee you they were one of the primary causes of death for the female passenger.


My apologies, it wasn't a speed ventures event, but it was another one of those "self tech" events.

If you install 5 point belts you'll need to put a big piece of flat aluminum under the car to provide additional support for the mounting. I can take a picture this weekend and post if you're interested.
