Message Assuming that the seat belt is NOT attached to the seat:

The mass of the driver pulls against the seat belts, which pull on the seat belt bolts.

The mass of the seat pulls against the seat bracket bolts. If they stetch/give, then the seat pulls a bit on the seat belt bolts.

180 pound driver vs 30 pound seat. 6:1? 90% 10% <- Guessing.

This was my concern when installing a passenger seat and belts in my FB. My conclusion was the belt attachment (roll cage) is/was more critical than the seat attachment. Besides, I don't ride on that side.

just kidding Scott & Salah, I've been in that seat. :)
