I have posted a couple of photos of a car that one of our customers
had installed a set of 3 point shoulder belts. He lost control and
went of a Central California Coastal Cliff and landed about 100 yards
off the road. The car caught fire the steering wheel was pushed down
to the seat cushion. All the impact was taken directly on the front
end. The owner and his passenger crawled out of the car and are alive
today. Both credit being alive today due to wearing 3 point shoulder
belts.
You can view the photos in the album page on our web site.
