The shoulder, lap and side belts are running over the seat instead of through it. A standard 3 point belt will generally hold you in place on a road course. I've driven all kinds of courses including police pursuit courses (which I taught) with standard belts and they worked fine. The problem happens when you crash  The forces exerted are far greater than the simple forces resisted on the course. The shoulder belts have nothing to keep them in place and on your shoulders. Once you start to dive or move laterally, it's easy enough to slip out. The crotch belt is coming over the top of the seat cushion. It will allow too much forward movement causing the lap belt to be the only thing really trying to hold you in place. It's probably going to get ugly real fast brother Please take his advise. |
