heheh,, I dont think that will be a problem,, if you consider a average man say 175 lbs in a car crash pulling on the belt in a crash ,, or not,,,,, I dont think the man would stand a chance against the strength of the seatbelt,,,, now,, a 40 lb doggie,, umm,,, its ok,, I am pretty darned sure the seatblet will win and doggie will stay put!!
