I have believed for a long time that General Aviation aircraft 3 point restraint belts       are unsafe and that the 4 point harness is best. I think Greg got it right "God had other plans for me".

Dave,

So glad to hear you’re OK. How about the plane, is it fixable?

Dave,
Glad to hear you're ok. The plane is definitely fixable I'm sure.
