Surely that depends on the acceleration felt... which could be drastically changed by wearing a seatbelt.

I'm not sure of the mechanics of it myself, but I'm fairly sure I'd rather trust the designers of the system rather than that the doorpost will give way to my head, as I don't think it would!

It needs to be credible to have any impact.If they were serious they would show CCTV of real crashes happening,and pics of the real results.But they dont because it might offend someone,and we cant have that.
