The doors tend to swing open easily so I have installed backup latches. I did work in the auto racing safety equipment industry so I have a little knowledge. Putting in a four-point system eliminates having to attach to a "B" pillar, just go to the floor. I have learned to drive the A very defensively and installed very bright LED lights all around, short of putting a full roll cage I have done the best I can?
You did not learn to attach the shoulder belts to the floor from the racing saftey industry. That is the best and easiest way to get a compression fracture of the spine in a roll over wreck.
