Which brings up a point that has occurred to me since my recent purchase of an open car; I'm not so sure I want seat belts in my Cabriolet. If I rolled it over like that and was attached to the vehicle, it seems more likely that I would be seriously injured or killed. If I didn't have a belt, I might be thrown free of the vehicle before it rolled over. I would almost certainly be injured, but at least I wouldn't be attached to a topless vehicle that has rolled upside down.
If I had a solid metal closed car, I would probably consider belts though.

Alan,
Precisely! So, how about installing a 'roll bar' on a ragtop/topless model A? How about a law requiring such?? Through personal experience, I know that there is some validity to your thoughts/statements/position regarding seat belts vs no seat belts!
