What an education!

I had the opportunity recently to watch Trevor Ashline of Safety Solutions do post-crash evaluations of how the safety equipment performed in 2 really hard crashes that resulted in minor injuries to the drivers.  If you ever get this opportunity,  stand back and learn.

The proper mounting of seat belts has always been important in my agenda for safety...it has now taken on added value given what I learned from Trevor's explanations.

Having a seat that is properly constructed, padded, and installed can save lives...PERIOD.  Such a critical item in today's safely constructed car.

Seat belts assembled with polyester webbing performs better and is more predictably consistent than nylon...moistue negatively affects nylon, as does sunlight...darned little difference in price.
