I read an article long ago (mid to early 60s) about some tests with
different strength seat belts. Things have certainly changed since then,
but I remember that in a real world accident a 5000 lb rated seat belt
failed, but a 10,000 lb belt in the same car saved its wearer.

I think the forces on the belt anchors can be extremely high.
