Just for what it's worth my RV has belts that are almost directly back
---From shoulder height witch is fine until you drop in a wind shear or do
a negative maneuver unwillingly and the harness is not super tight. You
tend to hit the canopy fairly hard with your head.
How about the restraints like on modern roller coasters???

Good Day All,
Ira, I went to the pix and then sat in my 1/2 built plane (plane noises
soon
followed). I don't see the plus side of the cable coming from down that
low
on the "D" window. It is still a downward angle from shoulder height. To
be
level with shoulder height, the cable would have to be mounted nearer
the
midpoint of the "D" window.
I think between the two ideas, the idea John came up with is better
suited
to meet the problem and the FAA guidelines. But I would wonder how well
the
attachment points would hold up during a sudden stop.
Not flaming....I just have an opinion. Any other ideas out in the world
in
use?

that.
