I put 4-point harnesses in my 944. The main conclusion I reached is that the regular seatbelts are near jokes. They certainly do not restrain one well under hard cornering. I use the harness instead even on the highway sometimes. Even so, I imagine regular belts, if USED, are better than air bags. > Maybe I'm cruel and heartless, but I consider highway deaths in which > seatbelts were not use to be suicides.
