Disabling the seatbelt chime - Libby

Re: Disabling the seatbelt chime - Libby
I found myself wondering about things like seatbelts one day while
strapping into a jet fighter. 4 inch belts, inertia reel locks that
really worked - took several minutes to get everything snugged up
right. That was not too long after seat belts had become mandatory
for new autos and trucks, long before the shoulder harness was
required, and many, many people ignored them as a nuisance or even
dangerous. The clincher was looking at the number of times I would
need the a/c belts versus the number of times I would need the auto
belts - and the corresponding number of funerals I was attending for
friends killed in each tpye of vehicle. Hard to argue with
overwhelming numbers.

strapping into a jet fighter. 4 inch belts, inertia reel locks that
really worked - took several minutes to get everything snugged up
right. That was not too long after seat belts had become mandatory
for new autos and trucks, long before the shoulder harness was

dangerous. The clincher was looking at the number of times I would
need the a/c belts versus the number of times I would need the auto

I'm not sure how many people would react positively to 6 point belt systems.
They do hold you securely though..
