Dear Fili,

I saw your post regarding the fact you decided to go without the shoulder harness as you say it could not be installed on a IVP.

FYI...This is WRONG.   A great number of IVP's have shoulder harnesses and if you have been following the discussion on the list of the 424E crash you will be aware that the pilot died because of head injuries as a result of NOT WEARING A SHOULDER HARNESS.

I personally saw the wreckage, spoke to the investigator who verified this and can only say...PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR DECISION CAREFULLY The life you save may be your own.
