Default Re: Seat belts 31 Tudor

Personally, I have never seen nor heard any evidence of bodies separating from the frame in an accident. A search on the subject will result in strong opinions by forum members either way but mostly on the side of believing that the body coming off is more of a very remote possibility than reality. Anyone installing safety belts in his/her car would be wise to do their own research to determine the validity of that scenario and install their belts accordingly.

Many seem to believe that it's best not to install any belts at all because of the possibility the belts in our cars would be installed improperly or will pull away from their anchor points in an accident. To these folks, I suggest they take their modern car to a parking lot and with no belts attached to them, hit the brakes hard at the relatively low speed of 20 mph and see what happens.
