I cant stand that belt. Ive gotten a RED MARK BEFORE FROM THE BELT CUTTING INTO MY NECK. I put it under my arm now and dont have any problems. im sure ill still have the same protection in case of an accident and i dont have to worry about not being legal. i know they can save your life,and i wouldnt want to eat that windshield. ive worked in the hospital and believe me after seeing the injuries ive seen,youd be crazy not to wear that annoying thing! btw, im 5'3".

5'8" and hate it. That little swivel holder thing has no staying power. I sit in, buckle in, reach over, push it down, and 5 seconds down the road it has creped up again from me moving around a bit. They should have made that piece locking, even it breaks in a accident, the day to day comfort increase well worth it.
Also, I honestly almost blacked out due to the belt one day. I did a very hard launch in first and hooked up and everything, shifted to 2nd and noticed the belt felt very tight and right as I went into third realized everything was starting to go black and I was about to pass out, immediately got off the gas. If I didn't know what was happening because of martial arts training in the Marines, I probably wouldn't have reacted fast enough and flown off the road with my foot on the gas.
I am being 100% honest there, scared the hell out of me, I pull it down before like every launch now. I figure the belt must have locked as I launched and was pinned back in the seat right across my jugular.

I don't have a major problem with the shoulder belt, so I haven't tried this, but I wonder whether anyone else here has. There are sheepskin covers that fit over the portion of the the belt where where the belt is in the area of your neck. AutoSport sells them.
