G'day,
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate.
We have photographic evidence of three instances where coaches rolled over and were "sheared" off at the beltline. The driver and
passenger involved in those incidents survived. Had they been wearing over the shoulder seat belts attached to the body they could /
would have been decapitated.
The OEM lap belt will keep the driver and passenger in their seats but will not keep the driver from "kissing" the steering wheel or
the passenger from being bent forward at the waist in a front end collision; I don't know if the passenger would "kiss" the dash or
not.
Do we have any hard data regarding front end collisions in which the driver and passengers were injured because of what I've noted
above?
Regards,

I have a photo of a third that looks almost like the Nichols', which occurred some years before in FL -- looks like Payne's Prairie.
Nothing above the beltline.
My mind's made up.
