after  what i have gone thru back in 1974 with a car with lap belts in it  
(68  
olds 98  someone elses car) in a bad accident , i am sure they saved  my  
life 
, but a shoulder harness would have saved permanent back  pain ,(interferes  
with corvair work a lot!), and a lot of damaged  teeth in the steering wheel. 
an 
old timer looked right at me and pulled  out in front of me from a driveway 
on a  busy road. i got him in the  drivers door at @40mph.  no escape!
i still look forward to good  strong shoulder harness belts in ALL of my  
cars 
somehow. i bought a  set from clark's to try in my rampy soon.

This reminds me of when I was driving my '51 Kaiser coupe back in  '58.  Some 
dude (or dud) in an old Ford came out of a driveway onto  Allen Road in the 
Detroit suburbs. I hit him right in the driver's door at about  55 mph.  He 
wasn't wearing a seat belt and neither were his 5 kids (all in  the front seat.) 
I was bruised, my Kaiser was a mess--but I was the only  survivor of the 
incident.  The biggest problem was when the State Police  took me with them when 
they broke the news to the new widow.  I got more  injuries from her claws than 
from the wreck.
