I know, you have a lot of them. You are a much better driver than your lawyer friend though. He didn't even know how to fasten the seatbelts properly
LOL Most people don't really know how to use five point restraint harnesses. To wear them properly, it's very uncomfortable. They need to be pulled so tight that you have trouble breathing - it should be tight enough that you have to work against the harness to breathe.
That makes sense, that way you wont be able to get shaken around as much
You also need to fit it correctly around your shoulders and legs. I'd expect the average person to have no fucking clue how to use them properly.
Unless you've practiced it thousands of times, it takes a while just to get them on. The trick is to practice it, time and time again, doing it the exact same way every time. This is especially important if you race with co-drivers that take over the car for part of the race. Those guys (and gals) tend to have it figured out pretty well. They've also practiced it over and over and over again.
