I think the overall concern is that the factory hardpoints are just not e
nough. I believe, as David said, AMSafe was concerned that additional rein
forcement would up the safety margin. I know I feel a lot better after put
ting a couple of intersecting layers of S glass over the hardpoints.

I've got a couple of questions David:
How much weight are we adding with the inertia reel belts as opposed to the
standard?
The hard points you show in you installation pictures are much more elabora
te than what Vans provides for the stock belts. Is there a reason the iner
tia belts require more support, or do you feel the Vans hard points aren't
enough for either approach?
