In response to You've posted by jerrib:Dan, I hope you find the information useful.
Jerri, some information I turned up says:"Federal regulations require car manufacturers to produce seat belts that only fit people up to 215 pounds. In other words, not all cars have seatbelts suitable for the girth-enhanced."
and
"...the standard they go by was set back in the 1950's when the average height was 5'11" and the extreem height of a regular consumer was 6'2". So basically anyone taller than 6'2" doesn't exist in the auto manufacturers demographic."
