can someone 'splain this one more to me? I'd never heard of such an issue. Why would I want the recliner to break in a rollover? And at least some seats leave plenty of "duck" room, as long as they don't have like a wrap-around head area or very deep shoulder wing things (I'm sure they have a name). And at least in the case of mine, with the stock lower belt going through the holes where you'd put the harness through, they are very close to stock locations and seem like they'd tension very well.
Point me to an article?
And has anyone seen any real data on any of this? I want a HURT report for track cars. How are people really getting injured and where's the science to back up any of the crap we've said in here?
