Hmm, I gotta think about that, the seat, in my truck, is mounted to the
roll cage, so the seat and roll cage would be very difficult to
separate. The shoulder straps and submarine belt are attached to the
roll cage, but the lap belt(s) are bolted thru the floor of the cab with
backing plates.
I guess even if the cab was ripped off the chassis, all the connections
would be intact and the fire suit only a little damp as a result. How
about explosive bolts to release the straps? Trigger on the firebottle
release? 8-)

The seat should always be attached to the roll cage as one unit. You,
the seat and the roll cage staying all together has proven to be the
safest way to protect the driver. The rest of the car can fly away for
all I care but I want to be sitting inside that seat inside the cage
when it comes to a stop.
And yes, been there, done that.
