Hi Fig,

Because I have a chauffeur I don't have to worry about the
driving side of equation. I try to position the cushion so that
it covers the stoma thus reducing the effects when the belt
tightens during a sudden stop or accident. I figure that the
cushion will collapse somewhat and then spread the load over a
wider area than just the belt width. This is subject to the
degree of the accident.

I find that the cushion has a secondary effect in that it also
softens the impacts from road bumps, potholes and speed humps.
