[H. L. Chauvin]

One reason why one doesn't see an article written by a licensed design professional on Model A seat belt design, especially with 100% perfect structural design calculations?

In agreeing with the gentleman's message #13 above, if one is a duly registered state licensed professional, with a state license number & professional stamp, & is legally permitted to provide structural designs, & it is known that said licensed professional has professional liability insurance, providing one professional Model A seat belt design coupled with one minor accident could provide one attornery with a settlement such that this attorney could retire for life.

It really does not matter if the professional Model A seat belt design was 100% perfect or not. Experienced & knowledgeable professionals are aware that in 95% of the cases, the designer's professional liability insurance company, (even if they know they can win the case in court), will settle out of court for an enormous amount rather than going to court where only the attorney defense fees will far exceed the out of court settlement.

Then the professional liability insurance premium goes up the followng year.
