Re: OT why not to have a belly button stud

If thats the force that the seat belt tightens around your waist......

....hmmm, i thing all cars should have 3-point harnesses, as you would be better held in.

Seat belt, if worn correctly, is well below a belly-button therefore it couldn't have been worn right. Badger.

I thought that, unless her belly button was in a very unusual place... I also thought it'll be used by some as an excuse for not wearing the belt in the first place.

But if she submarined at all that would alter the position of the belt. Also she didn't have any sort of beer gut to tuck the belt underneath.

Are you criticising the manly physique of the average AFLer? Shame on you!

Not at all. It just tends to be a more temproary body shape in women :-p

Not round here it's not, some enormous young women. Saw one the other day that was so fat she could hardly walk and another that I took for an OAP from behind and both can't have been more than 20 years old.

For anyone with a beer gut that want's rid of it I can personally recommend the South Beach Diet book. Worked for us. The only thing is you or yours will have to cook 'cause you can't buy the food off the shelf in M & S.

Totally agree but what about the ladies in your life?

Why do people submarine in seat belts then? Ah, because the belt is worn incorrectly/loose and the seat is too far reclined for safety (and normally comfort as well, but it seems to be "cool" if the driver is the boy-racer type)! Studies carried out on motorsport fatalities have proven that even an incorrectly worn 4-point harness will allow / cause submarining. Badger.

A chap I know, err, supermarined! Went over the top of the belt, he was so tall the seatbelt upper mount didn't go over his shoulder and he thwacked his head on the windscreen. Not much brain to hurt though so he was OK. Don't remember what car it was but it was way back in my yoof so probably an old cortina or something.

I guess a 5-point belt would prevent that, at the expense of injury to certain vital parts. Ouch.

Stay safe, y'all, y'hear?

Now that /would/ be telling! Put it this way, if they get damaged in a seat-belt injury I would be very surprised.

Unless she caught her ears in the door bracket, I suppose :-)

About a year and a half ago, a rally crew stopped to change a puncture. They had, what were considered to be the ultimate - 6-point harnesses. On re-entering the car, one failed to fully tighten his crotch straps and a short while later they were in an accident. he submarined, the 2 loose(ish) crotch straps acted like a guillotine and cropped his knackers so hard that they popped out of their nice warm sack!! The rescue crew arrived to find him doubled up in extreme pain, surprise surprise. To enable his extrication, he had to hold his own tackle as he was stretchered into the ambulance and later transferred to helicopter - well, who's going to take the most care of your painful vitals than yourself!! He's now ok, but last I heard was that he wouldn't need to worry about the CSA again......... The moral is, I suppose, even the best safety devices in the worl are useless unless utilised correctly.
