I saw Bob Harrison's message on headrests but has there been any comment or
action on the important issue of lifting the direction of the straps over
the shoulders to avoid compressing the spine in a crash please?

Shaun Simpkins' A207original posting was:-
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?
