My son is a police officer and he worked a wreck where a jeep with a roll bar
flipped and the seat belt stretched enough to trap the drivers head and neck
between it and the roll bar. Severed the head.
That being said, I think I would rather have a roll bar than not, even though
at present I do not. But I continually pull at my seat belt to tighten it
and keep it tight.
