So what you end up with is "The Illusion of Safety".

My good friend's 1928 Coupe was hit from the side at high speed. He had installed lap belts. Both he and his wife were ejected out the side of the car upon impact and killed. It was as if there were no seat belts in the car at all. The belt mounting points pulled out upon impact (high G-force Brent refers to).
