This is the second time someone has mentioned the seats are single shear. Good that people are thinking about it, but bad in that it is far as the train of thought goes. The tube frames inside of the the seats are thin and light and the tabs are barely welded on. The slider assembly is a solid welded fixture so it can not roll over the tabs side to side. With .1875" tabs fully welded to the round tube chassis and for the most part only seeing tension and compression, the real concern is the four 3/8" bolts all shearing at the same time. Using a 3/8" grade 8 bolt = 9,935 LBS to single shear one bolt or 39,740 LBS for all four. If I and the seat weight 230 LBS, then 172G is needed to break loose. “Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to rest over a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.” If I somehow manage to get to up to around 100 MPH and run straight into a solid rock wall and the tube chassis collapses around 26" to cushion the impact. The seat might stay bolted in. Good thing that the shoulder straps connect to the chassis directly so I know my upper body is going to stay put. This will assure my 11 LB head with 1,892 LBS of force will depart from my body and smash into the rock since there is not a windshield to stop it. If my whole body including the chair is smashed into the rock then I shall become a legend as the new case example of why everything needs to be double shear.
