Just curious on the tradeoff between a 5pts protection from body moving into roll bar, vs body held tight and head/spine taking all the shock.
Again, just bored at work and curious about the topic.

no roll bar in front of you in 4/6 point setups, so non-concern. your seat should take car of movement backwards, they are designed to do that. That is why car seats got mandatory head rests in the 70s due to whiplash injuries. And old car guys that remove seat tops for the cool look are insane.
put your engineering hat on. Why do OEs still use 3 points and supplement with airbags instead of some other method? It isn't cost.
