It must be assumed that anyone that races, would be aware to make sure their seat belts are properly anchored and tight, and as usual, there are exceptions...
I have heard of racers that leave their seat belts loose so they can turn their heads and be able to look at he other lane, putting themselves and others at risk.
Another reason to shorten pass seat height, obviously no performance advantage, safer operation is all I see,,,, how much weight do you think shortening a aluminium seat gais you,,,, less than a pound for sure
