Guys, it is 2016. Why aren't we using a better restraint system than nylon belts? Seat belts break bones, yeah this is better than hitting the dash or getting ejected but I don't think we need to make that kind of compromise anymore.

We have the technology to spread out forces across the entire body using a vacuum membrane restraint system. That same technology can replace the function of a head and neck support if used to cover the head. Once implemented all safety development could be focused on constructing better safety cells rather than wasted on trying to protect a loose human flying around the cockpit. Think about it. Safety would be all or nothing, once properly engineered any accident at road legal speeds would result in zero injuries.

Pic very much related. In application that would probably be only the inner most layer, which would then be covered in tubes for cooling (like a cool suit) and kevlar/wire mesh to prevent injury from accident debris.
