Members Cascabel Posted June 9, 2017 Members Report Posted June 9, 2017 Back when I worked for the airlines, just for fun we made up a test sample using passenger seat belt components to do an experiment with a tester used for testing the pull strength of cable assemblies. Passenger seat belt webbing is identical to automotive seat belt material. Surprisingly, the metal fittings broke before the webbing did. I don't remember the exact tension that we went to, but it was well over 10,000 pounds when it failed. We used a standard passenger buckle and end fittings in the experiment. Webbing is amazingly strong !! Quote
