A properly set up/adjusted double sub strap would prevent that from happening..hopefully. Thanks for sharing that... :shock:

Well, so much for using metaphors with you guys..

That gives a whole new meaning to "pain in the balls".

From what I can see (in the .001 seconds I can look at that photo) is a 5 point is what split the sausage & two veg. I'd like to think a 6 point would prevent that.

The guy didn't have his lap belts low enough or tight enough, and his seat was most likely too reclined! Why are we blaming this on the belts? Screw blaming the belts, done right submarining is what they PREVENT.
