I bet that if we did not have air bags we would have 5 point seatbelts by now!

Once you drive with a full harness, regular belts seem so insecure.

Default I don't think so.
Wearing a five point harness is not nearly as comfortable
or convenient as a 3 point seat belt. The more hassle,
the less compliance.
