In deciding whether to swap out the original-type belts for 'inertial', take some account of the fact that the fabled convenience of the 'inertial' belts is bought at the price of incr risk of injury. A locked belt if firmly fastened prevents the body from gaining much momentum before slamming into the rigid limit of the belt. I was in a head-to-tail at c.40 mph in a near-new car with the modern type of 'inertial' belt. My breastbone was severely bruised, costing me plenty sleep for 2 â 3 wk.
