Following a serious motor accident when seat belts in cars were but a twinkle in Henry Fords' eye, and never provided, I researched and located a car harness from the GQ parachute people, one that was in fact a full harness, i.e. lap and two shoulder type, and was not of the present 'inertia' style, so once adjusted there was no possibility of even reaching the radio - and fitted it to my replacement car.
It was monstrous, and my passengers laughed at me and refused to wear theirs, and eventually I gave it up and bought one of the first lap and diagonal inertia reel models, but I do wonder if I mightn't twist sideways out of it in the event of another head-on, as my accident was ?
In fact a simple lap-strap would have saved my thigh, which was snapped against the base of the steering wheel as I rose vertically in my seat.
