That's always perplexed me, as well.


From what I hear, there are no seats in a bus where there isn't a tall soft seat back in front of you now, for that reason. Not that it 'll do a damn thing for a rollover..... but impact wise its supposed to be about the same. At least thats what I've heard.

Still can't go the chit when I have to wear a belt, which I do unless I"m in a fire engine and the damn belt is too short to go around me with all my gear on plus SCBA gear.... go figure... but I wear em other than that, why do the cycle guys get off free?
I actually have yet to see a good cycle wreck without a helmet either. Always been head trauma and most of them dead or dying as I get there.


Don't think there have been any cars produced since the late 1960s/early 1970s that didn't have front seats without tall, soft seat backs.

Don't know if the guy on a radio show I was listening to was kidding or not, but allegedly the state he was calling from had tried to mandate seat belts on motorcycles. Sounds reasonable to me.
