John:
Accept the fact that while in a side screen TR, a collision with anything
larger than a go-cart and you will come out second. A shoulder belt will
force you to sit bold upright while you head becomes the roll bar. In a tip
over I would rather grab the hand brake with both hands. Of course you can
say that a shoulder belt will keep you from banging you head on the steering
wheel or windshield frame but in a head -on the virtually solid steering
column will come up to meet you.
