Message ...stationary. The angles are wrong for that, and the friction between your skin and your clothing is no better than the leather covering and your clothing. Nothing is holding you in place.

Even given no outer covering, the seat would not cup your body enough to overcome the force of the seat pushing your body up as the impact occurs. Again, the backwards angle of the seat prevents this from happening and furthermore you would have to sink into the seat a significant distance, more than a few inches for this to help. The elasticity argument is specious.

This is pretty simple kinematics Ash, I'm a bit surprised to see such a silly argument from you ;).

Recursively Yours,
