I remember
looking at an RV-6 a few years ago at Sun 'n Fun and thought it odd that
there were some straps or cables over the top of the compartment going

from
the seat backs to the back of the baggage compartment. The owner was not
there to ask about them and I don't remember if that was common to most of
the RV-6s I looked at or just that one.


Think about it for a second. You have a 40 or 50 lbs object behind your head
traveling in a vehicle that is going 150 mph. If the vehicle decelerates of
stops suddenly what is going to happen to that object?




Hint: The cables or straps were tie downs.

Another hint. On RVs, the cables that run from the
seat backs to the upper part of the baggage area
are part of the shoulder harnesses.
