Imagine your car rolls over, you're strapped in a harness and your neck gets broken - you die. With a normal seatbelt you'll actually get flung within the seatbelt restraint - potentially saving your life. - thats the way I see it anyway.

as above, with the normal sash belt, you have that slight extra ability to crouch or bend slightly to the side in a roll over situation. And mould yourself a little more to a bent cabin situation.
