These holes?

I was talking about the bottom pass through for 5/6 point that fixed buckets have

and to the other point yeah you can add a hole, but I'm just not super convinced on how well reclining seats work with harnesses in the event of a crash and crumble, would need to see more data

Yeah in rear impacts reclining seats are not the best, but one needs to make compromises between a full race car and something you can still be livable for everyday. A fixed mount halo seat isn't practical.

Some folks that track their car swap back and forth between a quality track seat and the stock seat for daily driving.

^ good point, I haven't gotten to the age that bucket seats bother me much yet but I also rarely drive the car

Some folks also buy a track car, trailer, and tow vehicle.

I feel it also comes down to Insurance risks. If someone hits you and you are injured they can bring up in court, that you removed the safety devises the factory installed, and have to assume some of the fault for your injury's.

If the accident is their fault- then you would've been COMPLETELY uninjured HAD THEY NOT HIT YOU. The blame is right back on them...

Honestly, I have been a Paramedic for 25 years, running only 911 calls the entire 25 years. I have been on MANY calls where I have said "that seatbelt saved your life". I have been on MANY MANY more calls where I've said "that helmet saved your life" (motorcycles). I can't think of any calls where I have said an airbag saved anyones life. I have absolutely said "those injuries are just from your airbag". I'm not saying there isn't a perfect scenario where an airbag CAN save a life, I am just saying I have not seen it. BTW I work for a busy department in a busy county. I run thousands of calls each year
