Ross, thanks for the positive response. Too bad there's no
competition
for B.A.S. to get the price down.


Why not scavenge one out of a car?

This is just a guess but...

A lot of the automobile inertial reel seat belts only lock up when the
deceleration is in one direction like when you hit your brakes or a brick
wall. A up or down acceleration wouldn't do it and neither would a side to
side.

There are exceptions to this rule one being in my Honda S2000. It would lock
the reel on any significant change in motion. This made putting on your seat
belt as you accelerated impossible.
