[QUOTE="RoyalFlush, post: 710173, member: 27311"] UPS did not design or build the package car. If the seat and/or seat belt is substandard the manufacturer is responsible/liable. If UPS redesigns or modifies the seat and/or seat belt they would become responsible. Acknowledging the seat and/or seat belt is inadequate would also subject UPS to liability. The same theory would apply to you own vehicle. If the brakes fail due to a design flaw, the manufacture is liable. If you take it upon yourself to retrofit or modify the brake system and it fails you have taken away the manufacturers responsibility. Can you quantify the potential safety improvement of a 3 point over a 2 point system in a UPS vehicle? It seems to me that there are very few injuries that can be attributed to the use of a two point seat belt. Serious injury is often the result of wearing no seat belt, hence the focus on seat belt use and tracking with telematics. [/QUOTE]
