Also, looking at other options, I think you could probably just loop
the belts through your crotch and then up to the shoulder buckle to
create an anti-submarine system ... I have not really explored this as
I was just looking for additional hold-down force ... *KK

Todd,

yeah, I think a bunch of us have been trying similar solutions for
this over the years ... I think QV (Richard Kellerman) mentioned that
Eric Mann showed up at a R2 contest one year .... and was wearing
enough carabiners and straps to make a Sherpa jealous ... ;-)

The 2" d-ring seems to work well ... we found it just had to be out
in the open if you want the belt loop to slip through easily ...

And as mentioned (and not pictured) .... hooking the d-ring to to the
free end of the lap belt strap did just that ... plus it kept the
tension on the lap belts ... very tight ...
