I understand what you are saying and all, but what is the difference if my head slams the bar or the ttop latch or the windshield frame or the door or the steering column? I think if you were in an accident that had enough inertia to overcome the stock belt and allow your head to reach any of those points, you are going to be lucky to survive in a stock car with air bags that are older than 10 years. From what I have been told, they are supposed to be retested then so that is a gamble as well. I can understand that the bars are a few inches in diameter so those points are coming closer to you. I just don't see pillows where they would cover. The windshield is really the only thing that has some give and that area isn't greatly effected. Could be my young and dumb mindset though
