People are probably a little bit more adamant in this thread. But regarding your dispute, wouldn't you agree that there's a world of difference between strapping on pads and buckling a belt? Unless we're just silly, we don't put on safety helmets or any other kinds of pads unless the activity is dangerous, but safety belts are more similar to rails on staircases. Just normally there, not that you really take note of them.
