actually NASA *does* require SFI rated 5 or 6 point belt system.. its in the rulebook i posted earlier.. 15.5.10 talks about the SFI rating requirement and 15.5.1 talks about 5/6/7 point belt requirement


and.. for the record i want to make the remind everyone that just because something is *allowed* does not mean it is *safe*.. a great example of this is the state of Illinois which allows people to use motorcycles without a helmet. sure the 5-0 won't give you a ticket for riding without a lid, but your head does not magically become immune to head injury because of the absence of the helmet rule

physics is the same whether you are on the street, strip or road course... just because the places you go don't have rules that prevent people from doing dumb sh!t through ignorance doesn't make you exempt from physics

i hope no one finds this out the hard way by getting into a frontal collision on the street and having a loved one in the passenger seat submarine under a 4 pt harness and sustain injuries that could have been prevented by the OE seat belt
