<VV> Re: seat belts

That's pretty funny. In my years at the collision shop, I never had an
insurance company foot the bill to replace seat belts after a collison
until the manufactureres put in the pyrotechnics (pre-tensioners) that fire
with the air bag circuit! It was always "you're the only one who asks for
that". After the pre tensioners showed up, there was no more arguing as the
belts no longer functioned at all.

----- I do believe seat belts are strong. The ones in military aircraft are
even stronger.  If I recall correctly, my insurance company has said that if
ever I crash the car, the belts will need to be replaced. You might check
with your insurer and see. After the tests Tony describes, I dont see why.
BTW, they can be washed, using woolite, see Vair tips, 10-3-82
