    Has anyone thought of using a seat belt G similar using a rotary mechanism? I was think of something like a cylinder with a slot cut through for the seat belt. It would be kept on the open (through) position while initially adjusting the seatbelt then once the game is running a servo could twist the cylinder to add additional tension to the belt. With two independent servos you could also create some differential forces left to right as well. I added a sketch of the idea. Any thoughts?
