Hopefully you never crash at a slight angle either, 'cause you'd have uneven diagonal pressure on each strap...



I can tell you that a ~40+mph run into a 4" gate post (popped the post right out of the ground too) with a Rallye 3 left the driver with no issues at all... meanwhile, I had really bad contusions from the OE belt (passenger seat). YMMV. But I wouldn't run it at the track or on the street (this was an autocross...)
