SAE paper cited is, for all intents and purposes, 20 years old. Essentially same ERA as Dale Earnhardt's tragic passing when HANS was in its infancy and not yet mandated required equipment in NASCAR. There have been countless safety advancements since and suspect SAE has published numerous papers and/or standards since to supersede.
Likewise, Schroth video published by "Detroit Tuned" appears to have been filmed only in 4:3 aspect ratio... same as final episode of M*A*S*H 
Finally, most "restraints" other than OEM 2 or 3 point are not street legal so best check w your state DOT guidelines before installing.
Good luck and be safe  |
Lol, excellent points.
I always like to play devil's advocate, and a huge pet peeve of mine is "we do it this way because we always have" or "we do it this way because that one thing happened that one time". It seems to me like 4 pt harnesses may be a victim of that mentality to a certain extent, but there is no contradicting your points.
Safety should trump all, because no one cares how cool you looked when you got into that crash that widowed your wife and orphaned your kids.
