You are correct Ron, it doesn't have the same number of ribs in the weave of the belt. Same could be said about the seat harness used in drag racing (smiling) Best Wishes In a message dated 11/20/2013 6:43:49 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
well a seatbelt bought for a wheelchair is not approved as a harness in a car. ron From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 6:38 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Just a quick question A seat belt is a safety device, with a liability rating, depending on its actually use: Airplane, Jet, Passenger Vehicle and Wheelchair. The safety of each belt is designed from the material use, the weave and strength are clearly declared for those in the manufacturing industry, as well as the end user. Tampering or altering a safety device could/may affect its user safety, injury and death. Crash Test Requirement is another issue to those in the industry. If a safety seatbelt does not prevent injury in the event of the crash test, it goes back to the manufacture. A velcro connection is made for a wheelchair, it too must pass the crash test process. Is it any wonder... why I wonder. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/20/2013 6:30:05 P.M.

The little flap of belt that you pull to tighten it is hard for me to work sometimes, Ive seen some belts that have a platic d ring connected to the end of the flap. Ive seen a couple people out in public with newer chairs that have this seatbelt with the d-ring. ron
