I really wonder about the seat belts. If you look at the racing video with the speedsters it is clear that seatbelts would not be a good idea because they have no roll bars and being thrown from the car is far better than having the car crush you.
The Model A has no collapsible steering column, padded dash or other safety features that were designed to work in harmony with seat belts. I am not convinced that in an open car like my roadsters that best idea for most crashes?
