This same argument is/has been going on on another forum I am a member of. Should we or should we not add seat belts to out Model A's. Obviously they did not come with seat belts at that time. But with the advent of faster cars, more of them and more stupid people they became a necessary evil. Some say to install them to keep people safe (and they do). They will most likely keep you in the car during a crash. Of course you will still hit the front windshield as a passenger and if your not lucky they may do other stuff as the car was never designed with them in mind.
But, with this discussion going on and the accident pictures I have seen, they actually hold up fairly well. I am impressed with the way the fold up on themselves in a wreck. And people survive, bruised and battered but survive. I still don't know if they actually will keep me safe or it is a false sense of security. But, going up against a modern car in a crash, I dunno.....
