Subject: Seat belt mount points
The seat belts wrap over the seat back and attach near the spar. This does
mount to the strongest point in the airframe, but isn't the best place
ergonomically, as it can cause spinal compression in a crash. It seems to
me that running the straps over a guide bar mounted stoutly to the seatback
but at the right height to bring them straight back from the shoulders,
thence to the existing mount points, would improve things. Has anybody
tried this, or considered this important enough to address?

I`ve certainly thought about it and was rather wishing that someone else
would come up with a fix and (more importantly) have the energy to see it
through to Approval.
