Most people assume that a lap belt is a bad idea because they belive getting clear is better. The same arguement was made about cars decades ago. Kicking clear only works when you have nothing to hit such as guard rails, trees, cars, or buildings. A reinforced fairing system can protect the back and legs. Is it the anti-cager mentality or is there hard data out there? I've got SAE Journal articles and checked Hurd report findings etc. to go on.
